AEG& Flatout Games | Calico - Award Winning Board Game for the Whole Family | From the Creators of Cascadia | Easy to Learn | Quick to Play | Make Quilts and Attract Cats! | Ages 10 and up

As a teenage girl who loves puzzles, I absolutely love Calico! The game pieces are bright and colorful, the cat pictures are adorable, and the idea is very unique. If you like challenging your brain, I would definitely recommend-but if you don't, there are so many other ways to play. The age I would recommend is probably around 10 and up, but if it is to hard, you can simplify it by playing a different variant. Additionally, Calico is not only a multiplayer game, but can be played solo as well. It is not very competitive either because everyone is focused on their own board. The quality of the tiles and board is amazing, and the artwork is too. The instructions are easy to understand, and include a place to mark your achievements as well. The value you get from this game is definitely worth the price tag. The strategy that goes into playing is slightly difficult, but once again, you can simplify it. All together, Calico is a brilliant, well-designed, puzzle game that is fun and (though difficult) is worth your time.

This game can be surprisingly challenging but is so much fun to play. It involves strategy and analysis but you are able to compete with yourself to achieve personal bests. The boards and pieces are thick and well made but not too heavy. The kitties are adorable and the colors of the boards and pieces are pleasing. Altogether they did a great job with this game. It should be satisfying for most ages. It can be played quite competitively or somewhat cooperatively depending on how flexible with the rules you like to play. I recommend it.

This is one of my favorite games. I play solo mostly. The solo game works with scenarios. Normally I would prefer an automa that gives you a score to beat but the scenarios are a nice option and they do give you a score to beat and other objectives also. They are also challenging.The cats are adorable, the colors and patterns are enjoyable. It's such a fun cozy game. Quality is good.

Highly recommend this deceptively cute but challenging tile-laying game. It’s a fun, but challenging game, while still being fairly relaxing! There is a lot to juggle with choices and patterns and points, while still having accessibility options for people more unfamiliar with games! I even played a few games by myself, which I never do, but they found a way to make that engaging too!

This game is really cute and fun. We bought it for our daughter's 12th birthday. She loves cats and we adopted a kitten earlier this year so she was excited about this game. I think the age range of 10+ is definitely accurate. There is definitely a lot of thinking and planning involved. At 12 my daughter was able to engage with it fine but I think it would be hard for young kids even though it's really cute. It's not easy but it's fun. My daughter likes to name the cats she earns and it's fun to play together. We haven't tried any of the harder ways to play yet but I believe there are different ways to play. We've played multiple times since getting it and it's quickly becoming a favorite.

So much fun! A bit complicated to learn at first, but once you get it it's a blast. There's a lot of strategy needed. The pieces are sturdy and feel good in your hands. We've played it several times since I bought it and we have fun every time.

Fantastic game! Played with friends and instantly bought it. However, some of the cardboard/sturdy paper pieces were damaged. Looked like the images had been ripped off by tape or something.

A great game! Several methods of winning, enough strategy to keep you motivated without being too overwhelmed. The production quality is superb and quite a value for the cost. Easy enough to teach. The speed of the game can be brought down by new players but most games with strategy are. I wish there was a game insert to hold all the numerous pieces but that may increase the cost. I purchased Bits & Bins containers to hold the pieces. Highly recommended!
