Choose which side of the time board you’d like to play with and place it in the middle of the table. There is no difference between the sides, choosing a side is simply a matter of aesthetic preference.

Patchwork - the board game where you build the most aesthetic and high-scoring patchwork quilt on a personal 9x9 game board! Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. The game ends after both time tokens reach the last space of the time board. The tokens cannot move past the last space on the board. If one player ends before the other they simply wait for the other player to end too. My husband knows the way to my own heart is through some heady board gaming action. And if you are like us, you now no longer have to “ say it with flowers”. No, this year, you can say it with the strategic smashing of the prettiest kind! Welcome, lovers, to Patchwork: Valentine’s Day Edition! Pretty PatchesIf you have played any of the Patchwork games, the polyomino placing mechanics will be familiar to you and your best beau. And this loved up version is no different. Valentine is the same game, but it’s a chocolate boxed wrapping of Uwe Rosenberg’s classic two-player puzzle. Smoochy Set Up Other than earning buttons by skipping turns, you can also earn buttons by passing by the button symbols on the time board. Each time you pass by one of these buttons, you count the number of buttons on the patches on your quilt board and earn that many buttons.

In terms of play time, it lasts until it’s done. If you’re like me and you colour like you’re late for a meeting the game could be over in minutes. However, that’s not the way you’re supposed to play! It lasts as long as you put effort in, and you can put in as much effort as your opponents have time for. Two of us haphazardly coloured and ended up with a sheet that would make a four-year-old wince. The other two took care and attention and produced some very attractive quilts! Regardless of scores, those who took their time definitely made better use of the game.
