About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game fans! If you're already a fan of the original Calico, get ready for a special treat: the Calico: Kickstarter Promo Cats! This little gem includes a unique double-sided scoring tile and four extra cute cat tokens, which were given out for free to Kickstarter backers. But don't be fooled, these kitties aren't just for show! They add two new scoring objectives: 'largest pattern group' and 'longest pattern line'. This means you now have even more strategies to devise and more ways to succeed (or not, right? lol). It's the perfect chance to add an extra boost to your games, bringing a touch of novelty and challenge without overcomplicating the rules we already love. If you're looking for a way to spice up Calico without changing the core of the game, this promo is for you! It's like giving your favorite cat a new treat: they'll love it! Perfect for those who want to explore new combinations and optimize their patchwork quilt creations. With these additions, each game can become a new feline adventure in the pursuit of the perfect quilt!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game Calico to use these cards?
Absolutely! This is a promotional expansion, so you need to own the base game Calico to enjoy these new cats and the extra scoring.
Do these cats significantly change the game's rules?
No, they add new scoring options focused on patterns, but the core mechanic of placing tiles remains the same. It's a nice variation, not a revolution.
Is it difficult to integrate these new rules into the game?
Super easy! The scoring tile is double-sided and the tokens are simple to add. You just need to pay attention to the new scoring goals at the end of the game.
What's the estimated playtime with this expansion?
The playtime doesn't change significantly. The expansion focuses on adding more scoring options, not extending the game's duration.
How many players is this expansion for?
Just like the base game, this expansion supports 1 to 4 players.
Where can I get this promo?
Originally, it was an exclusive promotion for Kickstarter backers. It might be a bit harder to find now, but sometimes it appears in specialized stores or on the secondary market.
