Knitting - The Card Game is oozing with fun knitting terminology, beautiful photos from fiber artists and game mechanics that mirror knit life. Players start the game with pattern cards and yarn cards. Turn order consists of 1. Knitting (advancing time card) 2. Drawing Yarn Cards from the Yarn Store or Choosing additional Pattern Cards 3. Casting-On (only one pattern per turn) 4. Restock the Yarn Store. *Community Cards cost 5 Yarn Cards and can be bought or spent at any time during a players turn. The Community deck is filled with action cards and secret points. Pattern cards have both yarn and time requirements. Collect Yarn Cards from the Yarn Store and when you have the right yarn for a pattern, 'Cast-On' by placing the Pattern Card and required Yarn Card(s) on the table along with the Cast-On (time) Card. Each round thereafter advances your project by one week. When the time requirement is met, discard the yarn cards and move the pattern card to the 'Blocking Mat' as a way to keep track of your FO (finished object) points. Each player starts with 4 Cast-On cards and can have up to 4 active projects in-progress at any given time. No previous knitting knowledge required to play. But if you are a knitter you can play this with your non-knitter friends and family to give them a peek into your fiber-y world or play with other knitters and meta game while knitting on matching patterns irl to earn extra points.
