Read the full game description
Copenhagen: Roll & Write turns the city’s colorful harbour façades into a brisk spatial puzzle. Roll five dice, choose a set of one color, and draw the matching polyomino onto your building sheet. Every unused die advances the corresponding track on the other players’ sheets, so even a productive turn can hand rivals useful momentum. Stars unlock one-time color powers that bend placement rules or improve efficiency. Completed rows and columns score points, and the first player to reach twelve points triggers the finish. The shared dice and individual drawings create quick turns, visible competition, and plenty of room for clever combinations.
