Canal Houses takes you to the picturesque streets of Amsterdam, where you build iconic Dutch houses along peaceful canals. As architects, you compete to create the most beautiful city panorama, full of shops, windowed floors, and elegant roofs. Each house is unique, decorated with cats, tulips, flags, and other details that capture the charm of life by the canals.

Each player starts with four cards in hand.
In every round, all players simultaneously choose one card and add it to their house, then pass the remaining cards to their neighbor.
You build houses from the bottom up: shop (foundation) → windows (floors) → roof (completion).
The roof completes the house and scores points based on special conditions (height, number of cats, flags, flower pots, etc.).
If a card isn’t useful, you can “throw it into the canal” (discard it).
The game ends when someone completes their fourth house and shouts “Heel Mooi!”. Then, shops, roofs, decorations, and color-matching bonuses are scored.

Canal Houses is a light yet strategic game that combines aesthetics and tactics in a race to create the most beautiful Amsterdam street. 🏠
