## Description
In Copenhagen, you step into the role of a facade designer in the charming Danish city, with a special focus on the iconic Nyhavn area. Your mission is to construct colorful and stylish facades for the houses, ensuring they blend seamlessly into the picturesque harbor setting. On your turn, you can choose between taking two adjacent cards from a display or using the cards in your hand to purchase facade tiles in various shapes and colors. Holding more than seven cards is not allowed, so manage your hand wisely!

There's a discount bonus if you place a tile adjacent to another tile of the same color, encouraging careful planning. Furthermore, building over certain spaces or completing entire rows on your personal board can unlock special abilities that make your job easier. Completing rows or columns on your board earns you points, and if they are entirely composed of windows, the score is doubled! The game is an exciting race to be the first to reach 12 points.

Copenhagen offers a visually pleasing experience, especially in its editions featuring acrylic tiles. The Deluxe version includes acrylic pieces with transparent windows and expansion modules (Queenies) that add new layers of strategy and customization. It's an accessible game with easy-to-learn rules, yet it requires good spatial reasoning and tactical thinking to optimize your constructions and achieve victory. Perfect for those who enjoy tile-placement games with a puzzle and building twist.
