About the game
Copenhagen tasks players with designing new colorful facades for the famous gabled houses of Nyhavn harbor. Each turn, take cards from a shared display or spend them to purchase facade tiles in various shapes and colors, earning discounts for matching adjacent colors. Completing rows or columns scores points, doubled if filled entirely with windows, in a race to 12 points. It's a light-to-medium tile-laying puzzle wrapped in charming Danish harbor theming.
Hobbli's Notes
