Description

Get ready to build the most beautiful Amsterdam canal houses in Grachtenpand, a fun and light card game designed by Zach Hoekstra. Released in 2024, this game is perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a quick and entertaining experience that can be enjoyed in just 20 to 30 minutes. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be drafting and collecting cards in no time to create your idyllic set of canal houses. You'll start by building bases, then add floors, and finally top them off with roofs to create a stunning structure. As you play, you'll simultaneously choose a card from your hand to build, then pass the remaining cards to the player on your left, keeping the game exciting and dynamic. You'll refresh your hand by drawing a new card from the deck, choosing from bases, fronts, or roofs to add to your collection. The goal is to build a completed house, from base to roof, and the player who creates the most beautiful and impressive canal house wins. With its unique blend of drafting and set collection mechanics, Grachtenpand is a city-building game like no other, offering a fun and challenging experience for players of all ages.
