Just about to play Patchwork on BGA. I'd played it once before, a few years ago, but didn't remember everything. This was such a great refresher! Thanks. 🙂

Hello, I just discovered your videos. They have amazing production quality. I bought my wife Patchwork last year for her birthday and it's one of the only games (besides ticket to ride) that she suggests we play.
Yeah, that's too bad about the starting placement of the game piece but that's okay. For the time you save people from reading the rules, we'll let this one pass :)

Oh, i love the recommendations of other games at the end as well!

Just got a copy from goodwill for $2.99. Looking forward to giving it a shot

at 1:38, you actually put the pawn *behind* that piece. You shouldn't be able to select that piece on the first turn.

Thanks! Solved the one rule that wasn't clear to me in the instruction book (about passing buttons).

The theme seemed awful to me when I first heard about Patchwork. Your video now has me intrigued and I may be picking it up. Thanks!

[hydronicrocker]

Thank YOU! I was getting frustrated watching other long winded videos making it seem so much more complicated than it actually is haha

[namstel]

Wow, so simply and well explained in 2 minutes! Thanks!

[antgerfitz]

Great video. I watched this the other day and was ready to play in 2 minutes.

[DukensteinA]

I really like this. Great presentation

[ЛукаГаврић]

Your howto-s are becoming my favourite on youtube! Keep up the great work :)

[gerarddomenechdomingo]

just discovered this channel. Awesome visuals and explanation!

Take a shot everytime she says buttons.

[dgayle]

This was well explained. Unfortunately I think there's too much going on but I see the appeal for some people.

Ackchually, the player who last used a needle goes first, not random

I just got this Game and we love
it - but I HATE the Rules in any
Game that say:  'when you 'pass over' a certain square - this
happens’.   It never states or allows for the fact that you may land on the
square with half the button, (as in this Game) then move to the next square on
your next go with the other half of the button...  Does this mean
you get buttons income twice - for both landings?  It would have been much
simpler to have had the picture of the button on just ONE square,   then if you
either land or pass over it,   you’d know for sure what
to do!  I have many Game in my collection that fall down with this kind of
Rule - they just say ‘each time you 'pass over'
etc., and It isn’t clear enough,  and we like to play our
games strictly by the RULES! Please can you help us out on this one? Thanks in
advance! :-)

Cannot reccomend Patchwork in 2 minutes enough.

[UncleF]

I can’t understand the entire video cause I don’t know what’s is player try to make biggest “KWELL”

In your goal to teach the game in 2 minutes, your pace is frustratingly fast. I stopped rewinding and just set the playback speed to 75%. You also skip over some key points. I gave up and went on to another tutorial that wasn't vomiting the instructions at warp speed to meet some artificially randomly selected time frame.
