Stitchcraft is a two-player strategy game where the cards are actors, not proxies. Weigh decisions to wield your Tapestries as both wares and weapons. Weave a winning Showcase while shrouding your colors and surmising opponents’. If you master one Pattern, choose another for a new set of spells!
## About This Game
Take the role of a magical merchant competing to sell enchanted rugs in
Azetta, a city famous for its custom of hosting local tradeshows where rival
spellweavers advertise their wares in wizardly duels. Customers flock to watch
the spectacles, and the victors win the glory and the sales!
## Your Wares are your Weapons
Stitchcraft is a two-player strategy game where the cards aren’t proxies for
ogres and dragons – they themselves are the actors in the game. Playing a
tapestry unleashes the enchantment woven in, then contributes towards building
a winning sales showcase.
With a single spell woven into each of just eight colors of rugs, the rules
are simple enough for anyone to play…
…but conquering a cunning opponent is another matter. Practice in single-
player mode versus the AI player, then take on other spellweavers in online
multiplayer matches. If you ever master a particular Pattern, choose a new one
for eight different spells that promote fresh strategic challenges!
## Mercantile Mayhem
To begin, each player starts with a Chest of five Tapestries in each of
eight different colors. These 40 Tapestries are stacked randomly with their
colors hidden from view. Players draw three Tapestries from the top of their
Chest to start the game, and additional Tapestry each turn. Player 1 skips
their first turn draw.
## Artful Actions
During each turn, players may Play and/or Reveal Tapestries. Each player
may take two of these actions per turn in any combination: Play twice,
Reveal twice, or one of each in either order.
Play a Tapestry
Click a Tapestry in your hand to Play it into your Display on the table
in front of you. A Tapestry in the Display is Unrevealed . The opponent
can’t see the color, and its power is ready to use on another action, but it
is not yet part of the Showcase victory condition.
Reveal a Tapestry
Click a Tapestry in your Display to reveal it and release its color’s Power.
These Powers may provide boons to you or sabotage your opponent. If the
Tapestry is successfully revealed, it moves into the Showcase and counts
toward the many-color and color set victories.
## Plethora of Powers
Each game match is governed by a Pattern . Every Tapestry of a given color
will release the Pattern’s Power for that color when revealed.
Powers are designed to maintain a subtle identity across Patterns for a
given color, but in combination, they can dramatically warp the strategy
between matches of different Patterns .
Players should start with the “Loom” Pattern , then check out others such as
“Attrition” and “Racketeering” when seeking new challenges!
## Wiliest Weaver Wins
Build an impressive Showcase to dazzle the market tourists! The first player
who assembles seven out of eight Tapestry colors or four Tapestries in a
single-color set wins the game and makes the sales to the impressed audience.
## Real Artisan Crafts
Stitchcraft has collaborated with The Anou to feature genuine artisan
handiwork, billowing in the wind on display in each player’s showcase!
The Anou is a cooperative organization that develops user-friendly software
and trains the artisans of Morocco to utilize it to take control of their
business, instead of losing their revenue to the middleman supply chain. Visit
their site to purchase beautiful, hand-made rugs like the ones in the game,
shipped right to your doorstep!
