In the rulebook there's a 2 player lower variance variant listed. In which you remove one "set" of 36 tiles. (Set = Each of the 6 unique patterns in each of the 6 colors.) The regular game has 108 tiles (3 sets, so each specific unique color + pattern tile combo has the potential to appear 3 times) but by using the variant you remove 36, making 72 tiles available to play (2 sets. So each unique color + pattern tile can now appear twice.) This lessens the randomness of the tiles, and improves the chances of seeing a specific tile needed. Like the yellow palm Lincoln was looking for. I highly recommend using this variant, I use it for all my solo & two player games of Calico.

Love this show - Everyone does an excellent job explaining the games. Just bought Calico,got home and watched this episode - and wow there is so much more to the game than the box tells ya. Love the art and how the kitty art is based on real kitties. :) Another great one from AEG :)

Funny watching this and Arboretum back to back (heading to board game cafe this evening with a friend and checking out some stuff ahead of going ) - both painfully simple in-play rules with maddeningly frustrating scoring. Not sure how much they’ll be my cup of tea but that’s the magic of a board game cafe 😃 thanks for the play guys!

[@RandomPerson-nd2ey]

They're not bad once you understand them. They make more sense than NASCAR Playoffs. Just saying... Point resets?! Regular points vs playoff points? The driver with the most points is not necessarily the winner?

[@shawnmckenzie8699]

Looks like a cute and fun game. Thanks for sharing.

[@Happy2Plan]

You too are adorable! Like watch two friends playing love it. Thanks

[@TomHickey]

The ultimate advertisement for GeekUp Bit Bowls ;)

[@abrahamtellez592]

As soon as they showed the above camera shot I was looking where to buy them.

[@viktoriiaboiko1368]

Great game!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@SmidgetPIU]

Surprise hit for me. Played a friends copy not knowing what to expect and it was a real satisfying gaming experience. More thinky than you'd expect but not in a bad way.

[@ericmattar-hurlbut2317]

I just love Calico. All you hear in any game played, "These are just awful tiles"," Terrible, just terrible." A real brain burner. I pledged for the game, and while I waited, I crafted the PnP, with double layer boards and box art. A great Christmas gift to a relative when the final version arrived.

[@JackieFox1976]

Guess you couldn't hear me screaming at my computer: "You can make a Tibbit!!! Tibbit! Tibbit!" At least I wasn't screaming "Coconut."

[@abrahamtellez592]

Calico, the game where everyone complains every turn. I love it. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@BoardGameGran]

I just adore you guys. And what a beautiful game! AEG sent me this for coverage in early September and it's been stuck in Singapore since the 23rd. I'm hoping it makes it the rest of the way to Australia at some point. The pieces look lovely in those color coordinated geek bit bowls. Great video guys.

[@IZaubermausI]

Can‘t wait to get my copy.... 😩

[@MarkusLegner]

well, did I say it? No! I forgot... Now I got this one too. Actually a sweet easy and relaxing game... except when your partner always steals the patches you need!! 🤣

[@iDATUS]

I think to improve the thinking time and remove distraction I would create three piles of quilt tiles, so when you remove one you have an automatic replacement. When a pile runs out just make a new one.

[@gemgenie06]

I really wish i hadnt hesitated when this was on KS but had quite a few other projects i had backed at the same time and US to UK postage is always an issue unless you can group pledge. Hopefully pick this up sometime in the future though. P.S. loving Nikkis new length hair!! really suits her

[@andrewkirkland4740]

great vid, a game for cat lovers, I think its good it can be played solo

[@RF-iz6xf]

Great game! Thanks.

[@RF-iz6xf]

hmm I noticed a mask at the back of Lincoln XD Is this from the 'Ghost' band? XD

[@boardgamegeek]

Indeed that is a Nameless Ghoul mask from Trick or Treat studios

[@RF-iz6xf]

ooohhh cool

[@nellgwenn]

It seems like a frustrating game, yet cute.

[@HomestarRunner20X6]

It's frustrating in a fun way, not a "How did my dryer eat my favorite sock" way

[@annamariapapp3328]

Awesome game! Can you please link me those trays that you are using for the buttons?

[@boardgamegeek]

You can get those trays from our store here: boardgamegeekstore.com/collections/accessories/products/bgg-folding-bit-bowls Thanks for the note and for watching!-Lincoln

[@TheEndreaBrown]

Do you ship those coloured bowls internationally?

[@robertdascoli949]

YELLOW FERN! WHY DO YOU TAUNT ME SO!

[@novasea242]

What are those cute containers you have??? I would love to get some!

[@SheezyBites]

As an ailurophobe I'd love to see a puppy version of this game, the tile placement looks great but whenever I look over at the pattern scoring my tension raises... I don't think I can get this game, but it looks really fun.

[@Bunny2086]

What's wrong with cats? :o

[@reannacraig1913]

Hi! I was really interested in this game but I can’t find it anywhere. Any suggestions?

[@boardgamegeek]

Reanna, the game is just between printings. The last I heard the game would be back in stock sometime early this year.-Lincoln

Looks interesting but really confusing. 🤔

Is this a coop game? 😇

Beautiful game, just not my style
