Rio Grande Games plans to release Quilt Show, a new tile-laying card game in which players create design high value quilts for entry into quilt shows, next month.
The game is designed by quilt book author Judy Martin and her husband Steve Bennett, and entered in the 2009 Rio Grande Games Design Contest. Quilt Show was one of four games Rio Grande’s Jay Tummelson liked enough to publish.
Players collect fabric cards, which they use to make quilt blocks represented by cardboard tiles. The quilt blocks are kept hidden in a player’s "sewing room" behind a player screen. Each quilt block has a point value, and three times during the game players decide which quilts to enter in the quilt show. The value of the quilt is determined by the quilt block point value as well as a quilting chip, which can be added to the quilt. The highest valued quilts win the most money. At the end of the game, the player with the most money wins.
The box contains 96 fabric cards, 108 quilt blocks, tiles, 12 Quilting chips, 12 quilt show prize markers, 28 time markers, game money, 4 player screens and rules. The game is for 2- 4 players, ages 13 and up, and plays in 30 – 75 minutes to play, depending on the number of players.
