"The days are getting shorter, colder, and more expensive. That's right, the holiday season is upon us. And if you are like me, then you are ready to speed past the cold and get back to summer. But for the rest of you, it's a season for enjoyment and family. So with that in mind, today we are going to look at the best Christmas-themed board games."
"In Patchwork, two players compete to build the highest-scoring patchwork quilt on their personal game board. Players will be moving their marker around a shared board to gain polyomino pieces to use. Patchwork also has a timing mechanic that the farther you jump ahead to claim that piece you want, the longer you have to wait for your next turn."
Shorter, colder days and holiday cheer prompt a focus on Christmas-themed board games for family and seasonal play. Patchwork is described as a two-player spatial and timing game where players collect polyomino pieces by moving a shared marker; the farther a player jumps to claim a piece, the longer they wait for their next turn. Patchwork receives criticism for having a superficially applied Christmas theme. Holly Jolly is a simple family-friendly card game about decorating a tree and collecting presents through set collection. Ghosts of Christmas is a Victorian-themed trick-taking game involving time periods and collecting wreaths.
