Patchwork (board Game)
''Patchwork'' is a two-player board game created by Uwe Rosenberg. It was released in 2014. Gameplay Players begin a game of ''Patchwork'' with five buttons, and take turns moving around a time-track board, about which are dispersed polyomino tiles representing fabric. During their turn, they may choose one of three tiles available along the path, which determines the distance travelled on the central board and the choices available to the next player. To obtain the tile, the player must ensure it will fit on their individual 9x9 grid board, and pay the associated cost in buttons. Acquired tiles become the basis of a quilt assembled on the player's individual grid board. A tile added to the player's board grants the player to move a certain number of spaces along the time-track board. The player who trails along the path on the time-track board takes the subsequent turn, or may opt to pass to move ahead on the central board, for which they collect a button for each space they wer ...

Glass Road (board Game)
Glass is a non- crystalline, often transparent, amorphous solid that has widespread practical, technological, and decorative use in, for example, window panes, tableware, and optics. Glass is most often formed by rapid cooling (quenching) of the molten form; some glasses such as volcanic glass are naturally occurring. The most familiar, and historically the oldest, types of manufactured glass are "silicate glasses" based on the chemical compound silica (silicon dioxide, or quartz), the primary constituent of sand. Soda–lime glass, containing around 70% silica, accounts for around 90% of manufactured glass. The term ''glass'', in popular usage, is often used to refer only to this type of material, although silica-free glasses often have desirable properties for applications in modern communications technology. Some objects, such as drinking glasses and eyeglasses, are so commonly made of silicate-based glass that they are simply called by the name of the material. Despite ...
