The definitive edition of the cozy crafting strategy game is here, featuring high-quality yarn tiles and a unique "cat- rondel" mechanic for the ultimate tactile-puzzle experience.
Knitting Circle is a spiritual successor to the hit game Calico, moving from quilts to an array of colorful garments. In this delightfully interactive game, players take on the role of knitters gathered around a central circle with their feline companions. This edition focuses on a clever two-phase gameplay cycle: first, you’ll move your cat token around the "knitting circle" to draft the perfect yarn tiles; then, you’ll "stitch" those tiles onto your garment cards, matching specific patterns (knit or purl) and colors to maximize your score.
Beyond the soothing theme, this version features stunning artwork by Beth Sobel and dozens of unique components, including textured button tokens and "Grabby Paw" tokens that let your cat help you snag the best materials. The game balances accessible rules with deep spatial strategy, as you juggle multiple garment templates and bonus scoring goals. Whether you’re knitting a simple pair of mittens or an elaborate sweater, every choice offers a satisfying combo, making it a perfect centerpiece for a "cozy" game night.
