Patchwork vs The Resistance: Avalon
Side by side comparison of two top board games

Patchwork
Patchwork is a two-player abstract game about creating a quilt. Players take turns acquiring fabric patches and placing them on their personal boards. The game is simple but strategic, requiring careful resource management and spatial planning. Each patch costs buttons (currency) and time, creating a tight puzzle.

The Resistance: Avalon
The Resistance: Avalon is a social deduction game where players are Knights of the Round Table on a quest to find the Holy Grail. Hidden among them are spies working for Mordred. Players debate, accuse, and vote to determine who goes on missions. This hidden-identity game is all about reading players and building trust.
