ABOUT QUILTS AND CATS OF CALICO
Quilts and Cats of Calico is a cozy board game in which the player’s main task is to make a quilt from patterned fabric scraps. By smartly combining the colors and patterns of the scraps, the player can not only score points for the completed design but also sew on buttons and attract adorable cats, who have their own preferences for bedding patterns.

Don't worry, you won't be alone – along the way, you'll meet friends and, most importantly, cats whose help can prove invaluable…
 
Spend quality time with your cats
 
In Quilts and Cats of Calico, cats are active during your games. Sometimes minding their own business, and other times coming to you and your quilt. They will lazily observe the board, romp and run around, and sometimes fall into a blissful nap. They are cats, you never know. You can interact with them during the game, pet them, and shoo them when they get in the way.
 
Extended customization options
 
The game is full of cats, but there could always be more! In Quilts and Cats of Calico, you can create your own, making your game even more wholesome! You can give it a name, choose the color of its fur, and put on different outfits. If you wish, it will appear on the board during gameplay. It will also be possible to choose a different player portrait and background for the game. Pick what you like best!
 
Beautiful, relaxing music
 
We asked Pawel Górniak, the composer responsible for the soundtrack of the digital version of Wingspan, to create the music for Quilts and Cats of Calico. Thanks to him, you will not only be able to deeply feel the atmosphere of the game but let yourself be carried away by blissful relaxation.
 
Quilts and Cats of Calico is being developed by the Polish studio Monster Couch and will launch on PC on Steam March 5th.
