Calico Solo Mode Review - with Mike DiLisio

[@GrayBeardDamonsen]

very unrealistic. the cats would be on the quilt waaaaaaaay before the quilt was finished. 😉

[@tiagomarques9822]

Damonsen If you play it, you’ll realize the cats do come to the quilt before it’s finished. If you play well, that is. :-)

Excellent video as always. Glad to hear your thoughts as one of the reasons I backed this game was for solo play. Hopefully it won't be to much longer in arriving.

[@sethchapman1425]

I do believe shipping has begun, I too wait.

[@ShelleyDanielle]

I've had a pre production copy for months now. Love the solo play and m/p game. Excellent game. :)

[@TheClyd3Man]

Shipping has indeed begun. I received my copy today. I hope your wait is over soon. :-)

[@lenaforsgren]

Great video! Looking forward to playing this game, both multiplayer and solo! 😸💓

[@GForceFitness1]

I just bought Calico a few days ago and love it so far, but I'm a detail-oriented person so it's a great fit for me. Getting ready to play my first solo game now. Thanks for your review.

[@apollonia6656]

Love puzzle games and love animals so I am starting Calico this week. As a solo player I think this is going to be up my street.

[@mavweirdo]

The most important thing you said for me is that the solo plays like a multi player game.

[@bookaddict777]

My copy is on the way! I cannot wait to give the solo mode a try. Thanks for the review, Mike.

[@fraserhamilton8592]

Hi Mike, that's a very helpful review. You mentioned that this is one of several solo puzzle games. These are the type of game I'm looking for - can you recommend a few others I might look into. Thank you.

[@penguyen25]

Waiting for my preorder to come in right now, super excited for the solo and multiplayer. Quick question, what kind of shelves do you have in the video for storage of the board games?

[@diegogalanv]

Hey mike This one or “the isle of cats” for solo play? Thanks in advance!

[@arkadiuszkosowski6131]

Have you noticed that tile AAA-BBB have different basic value (blue circle) than the real component

[@arkadiuszkosowski6131]

It is 7 versus 8

[@TheWalkingBad]

I loved this review, Z acted like you needed a background in rocket science and seemed negative on some things you really enjoyed

[@TheClyd3Man]

Seems he felt it was too thinky for the theme. Still gave it an 8 though.

[@kevinbhieey9188]

I've learned that Zee doesn't like too many options, even outside heavy Euros. It's the same reason he's not a big fan of Isle of Skye. For some odd reason, he thinks tile-laying games should have far less thinking involved, like in Carcassonne. That's the exact reason I can't stand Carcassonne and love me some Isle of Skye. Backed Calico because it looked like it would scratch this Isle of Skye itch. Also, the people and their "Too many cat games!" When there are as many cat games as there are Cthulhu games, then they can complain. Until then... NO!

[@federicolarosapsicologo]

what do you think is the best soloable puzzle game out there? (anyone can reply)

[@nuuqbgg]

If you like that kind of puzzle (tower defence) Under falling skies is wonderful. There is a campaign that is good, but you don't have to play it. It's great. So many decisions to make, so many variations due to crazy amount of stuff in the box... Amazing solo experience.

[@Mepper.]

My biggest worry about this game is that it looked like it would be very fiddly. You didn't think it was?

[@michaeldilisio557]

No, I didn’t find it fiddly in the least. On a physical component level, the dual layer board keeps everything in its place, and the rule set is extremely concise and right.

[@Werdiknight]

What the heck is polarizing about cats? They are the sweetest beings on this earth and all in all so much better than we are...

[@XD-rd8zd]

5/10 for me, too thinky and too random at the same time
