Quick winning principles
- Draft tiles that progress two quilt goals at once.
- Complete the 3x3 same-color quilt for 5 VP before round 4.
- Place buttons on tiles that complete pattern lines for income.
- Deny opponents the tile color they need for their cat placement.
Ideal strategy
- 1
Pattern scoring: three-in-a-row of the same pattern scores 3; plan rows before placing.
- 2
Button economy: buttons on completed pattern lines generate income—place on high-value lines.
- 3
Goal quilts: brown 3x3 and green 2x2 are the fastest—prioritize by your starting tiles.
- 4
Cat placement: cats score 3 VP each when surrounded by correct colors—plan the surround before the cat.
- 5
Tile selection: spend buttons to go first when the display has your needed color.
- 6
Endgame: three quilt goals plus two cats beats four goals without cat bonuses.
