Inspired by clas­sic board games like Monop­oly and Besser­wisser, this game by Hello Mon­day brings together his­toric and con­tem­po­rary ele­ments to give play­ers a real Copen­hagen expe­ri­ence. Every­thing in the game reflects the city’s ontol­ogy: the pieces, the bills, the game­board, the cards, and the packaging.

Play­ers move around the board and bat­tle to develop the city in the best way pos­si­ble. No cars here–players choose from a selec­tion of bicy­cles that includes a Chris­tia­nia cargo bike, an upright granny bike, a child’s bike, a Ped­er­sen, and a race bike.

The game is pro­duced by We Are Sail­ing, a com­pany started by two Lund Uni­ver­sity grad­u­ates look­ing for ways to help civic lead­ers and com­mu­ni­ties show­case Swedish cities to tourists and/or investors  For now, the board game is only avail­able through Dan­ish retail­ers.

Grab a bike and roll the dice!
