2P polyomino time-track puzzle
BGG · boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/163412
Patchwork is a very light game (weight 1/10). Despite the modest rules footprint, the decision space is deep (6/10) — the kind of game that rewards a dozen plays. Decisions come at a steady pace (5/10) — engaged without being exhausting. It plays close to multiplayer solitaire (interaction 1/10). Direct attacks are minimal (0/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression.
Of every game in our catalog, Patchwork is closest to Calico (85% profile match) but scores lower on input (1 vs. 5).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.

Variance is low across the board (input 1/10, output 0/10) — this is a skill game with little to blame the dice for. Be warned: catch-up is weak (3/10) — early stumbles can be hard to recover from.
The theme provides flavor (5/10) but the experience is mostly mechanical. Tempo is steady (engine 3/10) — no big-payoff combo turns.
