"The Canadian Embassy" (Ambassade du Canada) was exclusively published by "Filosofia Éditions" for the official french version of the game "Cuba" when it was released in Canada in 2008. As you can see from the front of the tile, the activated building produces 1 box of cigars and costs 2 wood (white), 1 water (blue) and 2 stone (red) cubes. The description on the back of the tile is written in french.
Cuba: Kanadische Botschaft supports 2–5 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 Cuba: Kanadische Botschaft is 120 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 Cuba: Kanadische Botschaft for ages 12 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.
Cuba: Kanadische Botschaft belongs to these categories: Economic, Farming, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Auction / Bidding, and Variable Phase Order.

The credited designers of Cuba: Kanadische Botschaft are: Michael Rieneck and Stefan Stadler.

The catalogue lists Cuba: Kanadische Botschaft as an expansion for Cuba.
