The tiles are of all different sizes and shapes and the player who can fit them on their quilt the best will come out on top. With only a few rules and quick turns the game goes by in a flash leaving you wanting to quickly reset the pieces and play again. There's even a Patchwork Express spin off that is geared towards younger players (fewer pieces) and older players (larger pieces with better readability).
Raptor features a theme many book and movie lovers will find familiar: dinosaurs and humans alive at the same time. In this game one player plays the scientist trying to capture baby raptors for research while the other player is the mother raptor trying to scare away researchers. Each player has a hand of cards and the cards are used for both performing special actions and also for performing a certain number of basic actions per turn. This all depends on what you and your opponent reveal at the same time in a clever card playing system. It's a quick game which means you can swap roles for a quick second game afterwards.
