Why Calico.
Quilt-pattern puzzle. Solo plays beautifully. Adorable, harder than it looks.
It plays best in solo, two players and 3-4 players situations — that's where this pick earns its place over the alternatives at the same weight class.
No paid placement. No sponsorship. We tested the game and chose it. The Amazon link funds the lights — if you'd rather buy direct from a local game store, find one via BoardGameGeek.
