Copenhagen invites players into the architectural charm of the Danish capital, focusing on the iconic, colorful gabled houses of Nyhavn. This strategic, tile-placement game challenges players to design and construct new façades, blending them beautifully with the harbor’s historic setting.

Players complete the façade of their buildings using colors rolled on dice instead of drawn cards. Each player has a score sheet with a building and five rows of colored boxes. By rolling five dice, they choose a color group to draw a corresponding polyomino on their façade, filling in spaces with bricks and windows. Players can claim unused dice to mark their own score sheet and gain special abilities, while completing patterns grants points. The game ends when a player scores 12 or more points, with the highest score winning.
