About the game
What you do in a play session
In Copacabana, you're a contractor in the early 20th century, turning a peaceful beach into an international icon of glamour and chaos. Each turn, you build a new quarter, choosing from hotels, apartment buildings, nightclubs, movie theaters, beaches, and hills. Each building has different effects you must leverage. Your goal is to score victory points by placing your dwellers on the most valued streets and constructing Copacabana's famous landmarks. Easy to learn and lasting around 60 minutes, Copacabana is a tile-placement game for 2-4 players, perfect for both beginners and seasoned gamers. Who will rule Rio's most coveted shoreline?
