Step into the vibrant waterways of Bruges, affectionately known as the “Venice of the North,” where competition runs deep and strategy rules the canals. In Canal King, players take on the roles of ambitious boat captains, each secretly planning a specific route from port to port with two essential stops along the way.
Once your journey is set, the race begins—but navigating the canals is no easy task. Rivals can alter routes, block passages, or reroute waterways entirely, turning every turn into a tense strategic decision. With each tile placed and each move made, you're one step closer to completing your voyage—or watching it unravel.
Visually rich and full of tactile charm, the game features detailed wooden boats, colorful canal tiles, character pieces, and a beautifully illustrated board that brings the historic city to life. Canal King is recommended for 2 to 6 players aged 8 and up, making it a great choice for family game nights or strategic sessions with friends. A typical game lasts between 45 and 75 minutes, offering a satisfying mix of planning, deception, and interactive play.
Claim the waterways, outmaneuver your opponents, and rise to the top. Only one will earn the title of Canal King.
