This print and play was inspired by the realization that my wife and I loved Patchwork but had pretty much figured the game out. The variations are carefully built to not make the game mean or random- it stays a friendly competition. The game also stays full information from the get go (no dice or cards or luck), so you can puzzle as hard as you want while playing the game. All you need to do is print one page that has the rule and pattern variations. One player picks the pattern, while the other player picks the rule change. The page even folds up nicely to fit in the Patchwork box. Enjoy! —description from the designer
