About the game
The Multicolor Tiles are the first two Queenies (single expanion modules) for Copenhagen. They are separately labeled, but they are packaged together, and will only be sold as a pair. To get a multi-color tile, you have to discard cards in the exact color combination of the tile. You can get a one card discount if, when placing the tile, one of the squares is touching a previously placed tile of the same color (as normal), but you can only get this discount once, and only of the color it is touching (if it is touching more than one color, you can decide where to get the discount). The size three tiles are added to the game in addition to the normal tiles, whereas the size 5 tiles replace the normal size 5 tiles, keeping the competition for them high. The size 5 tiles also feature completely different shapes for an new challenge.
Questions and answers
Copenhagen: Nyhavn supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Copenhagen: Nyhavn is 20–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Copenhagen: Nyhavn for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Copenhagen: Nyhavn has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Copenhagen: Nyhavn belongs to these categories: Puzzle and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Pattern Building.

The catalogue lists Copenhagen: Nyhavn as an expansion for Copenhagen. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Copenhagen to use it. Check that your edition of Copenhagen is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
