Review: Sweaters by Hedgehog

A solo journaling game about knitwear

What Is It?

Really, just what it promises to be. A journaling game where you are a hedgehog with a shop selling sweaters to other woodland creatures.

Roughly based on the Quiet Year (at least it uses a deck of playing cards to generate prompts in a number of categories).

6 Pages - Title, premise, and 4 tables.

What did I Like?

The cover art is delightful. The premise is very cozy.

Many good prompts. They worked out serendipitously a few times.

No wasted time! I’ll try not to waste time here.

What did I Not Like?

The table for sweater colours was less useful than the others.

The table for creatures could have been a little more.

What more would I ask for?

Something for seeing customers again. I suppose I could just play again.

A little more structure. Maybe there’s a festival at the end of the season?
