The beloved board game Calico is being transformed into a digital delight by Monster Couch with their new Android game, Quilts and Cats of Calico. This game encapsulates the cozy charm of its predecessor, featuring a palette of warm colors, intricate patterns, and, of course, an array of cats.
It’s a Game that Requires Strategy but in a Laid-Back Way
In Quilts and Cats of Calico, the main objective is to craft a stunning quilt from a variety of fabric scraps. Your task is to ensure that the colors and patterns harmonize to score points. The more aesthetically pleasing your quilt, the higher your chances of attracting cats to your cozy creation.
These feline friends have distinct preferences and personalities, and you can personalize them to your heart's content. Choose their fur color, give them unique names, and even dress them up. During gameplay, these cats will engage in lifelike behaviors—sometimes observing your progress, taking naps, or playfully getting in the way.
While staying true to the original board game's core mechanics, the digital version introduces fresh features such as a campaign mode with varied scenarios and rule variations. The setting is a whimsical city where cats reign supreme, reminiscent of a Ghibli-inspired universe. You play as a traveling quilter striving to make a name for yourself. As you advance, you'll encounter quirky characters, compete against opponents, and stitch your way to the pinnacle of the city's quilter hierarchy.
For solo players, there's an AI mode that allows you to play at your own pace with adjustable difficulty levels. The game also supports cross-platform multiplayer, featuring weekly challenges and rankings where you can dive into ranked matches against random players.
Will You Make Quilts and Rugs with the Cats of Calico?
Each turn presents a strategic choice: you must place a tile and then select a new one from a limited supply. You'll need to decide whether to aim for completing a particular pattern, attracting a cat, or simply adding a decorative button to your quilt.
Dive into the world of Quilts and Cats of Calico by downloading it from the Google Play Store.
