help Patchwork FAQ

Why does the player farther behind sometimes take several turns in Patchwork?

Patchwork does not alternate turns normally. The player whose token is behind on the time track keeps playing until moving ahead of the other token.

How do buttons work in Patchwork?

Buttons are both the game's currency and part of your final score. Crossing a button-income symbol on the time track pays you the total number of buttons printed on patches in your quilt.

What is the 7 by 7 bonus in Patchwork?

The first player to fill a complete 7 by 7 area receives a bonus worth 7 points. It is useful but optional, since both players still finish on separate 9 by 9 quilt boards.

Can more than two people play Patchwork?

No, Uwe Rosenberg designed Patchwork specifically for two players. Groups wanting a related multiplayer puzzle game can look at Rosenberg's Cottage Garden or A Feast for Odin.
