The gallery is looking for new masterpieces! Canvas Second Edition is the definitive version of the critically acclaimed painting game, and it puts you in the shoes of a world-class painter. Layer three transparent art cards to create a one-of-a-kind painting, lining up icons to complete scoring goals and earn ribbons. Play as legendary artists like Frida Kahlo, Van Gogh, or da Vinci, each with their own powers and scoring bonuses. The rules are simple to teach, and the spatial puzzle has plenty of depth for hobby gamers. This edition includes all the content from the Reflections and Finishing Touches expansions, and it supports solo play as well as groups of up to five.
Gameplay Overview: Canvas is one of the most beautiful games on the shelf, and the way it works is part of the fun. Each art card is printed on clear plastic and shows only part of an image along with a few icons. You stack three of them on a background card, and they blend into a complete painting. On your turn, you add a card to your collection or finish a painting, deciding which layers to combine to make the right icon patterns for that game's scoring cards. Every finished painting earns ribbons, and the player with the most impressive gallery at the end wins. The new painter cards give each player their own approach, and having both expansions in the box means lots of variety right away. It's a great pick for art lovers, puzzle fans, and anyone who wants a game that looks as good on the table as it plays.
