What is Copenhagen: Roll & Write about?

Copenhagen: Roll & Write – The City-Building Game in a Compact Package

If you’re a fan of roll-and-write games and enjoy the challenge of strategically constructing cities, Copenhagen: Roll & Write should definitely be on your radar. This delightful game from designers Asger Harding Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen packs a surprisingly engaging experience into a small box.

Game Mechanics and Gameplay

In Copenhagen, players take on the role of urban planners, tasked with building a thriving city by strategically placing various structures on their individual player boards. The game’s mechanics revolve around rolling two dice and using the results to fill in spaces on your city grid.

On your turn, you’ll roll the dice and have the option to either place the sum of the two dice on an empty space or use the individual die results to mark off corresponding structures (e.g., a 6 allows you to mark off a factory). As the game progresses, you’ll need to carefully plan your city layout, aiming to create clusters of similar buildings to maximize your scoring potential.

The game also introduces unique challenges, such as the need to build parks adjacent to residential areas and the ability to construct canals that can boost your score. Careful resource management and spatial awareness are key, as you’ll need to balance your city’s growth with the limited spaces available on your player board.

Who Will Enjoy Copenhagen?

Copenhagen: Roll & Write is an excellent choice for both seasoned roll-and-write enthusiasts and newcomers to the genre. Its straightforward ruleset and compact size make it highly accessible, while the strategic depth and replayability keep it engaging for experienced gamers.

If you’re a fan of city-building games, Copenhagen offers a unique twist on the genre, allowing you to construct your urban masterpiece one roll at a time. The game’s portability also makes it an ideal choice for gaming on the go or as a filler between longer gaming sessions.
