Amsterdam 🧭 Build your business network in the city of canals

Amsterdam Classic Special Edition brings one of Stefan Feld 's greatest hits to life, reimagining Macau with premium materials, new artwork, and even more elegant gameplay. You are a merchant in the early twentieth century, and the pulse of the city is measured by the wind that pushes your sails along the canals.

Each round begins with the roll of the colored dice : choose which ones to welcome immediately and which to "postpone", letting them mature in the famous rotating compass rose . Planning, waiting, and timing are the heart of the game: you accumulate today to act tomorrow... but each turn never returns.

Purchase buildings, activate professions, expand trade districts, and deliver goods across the canals to earn points, coins, and prestige. Amsterdam is a sophisticated strategy board game, where every choice matters and every mistake becomes a lesson in the wind.

Amsterdam Classic Special Edition is a game of deep strategy and time planning , where every turn is an investment, every die a chance, and every canal a promise of profit.
The wind changes every turn. Only farsighted merchants will know how to ride it.

🎯 COME SI GIOCA

HOW TO PLAYAMSTERDAM🚢🧮🐸

(Modern re-implementation of Macau, refined and much more balanced)

A new Amsterdam to be built paper by paper

InAmsterdamyou are amerchant in the early 1900s, intent on developing your trade network across the canals, purchasing powerful cards and delivering goods across the city.

Every card you take becomes afuture projectthat you can activate only by paying the right action cubes: permanent abilities, end-of-game bonuses, alternative ways to score points. It's a strategic puzzle ofcombinations and long-term planning.
The Wheel of the Wind: The Heart of the Game

Each round, starting with the launch of the6 colored dice, players chooseaof values and takeaction cubesof the corresponding quantity and color.

Then they place those cubes on theircompass rose, as many steps in the future as the chosen number of pips.

You takefew cubes?You will use them soon.

You takemany cubes?You will use them later.

This is the ingenious mechanism of the game:immediate benefit or big future payoff?
Use cubes to activate cards and navigate channels

The cubes obtained are used for:

Pay the cardschosen at the beginning of the round to add to your board.

Claim goodsin the nine ports of the city.

Move boats or workersthrough channels to deliver goods and earn points.

Cards provide extraordinary abilities: power-ups, discounts, new actions, and explosive scores. Create the rightenginethat's all.
District after district, the city expands

Each round they come into playtwo new district cards + 2 building cards + 2 professions.

Players choose one each, in draft.

Cards have specific costs in colored cubes and often require clever planning of your wheel: having the right colors on the right turn is key to not “dying” from delays.
Twelve rounds, one mission: dominate Amsterdam

In each round you gain cubes, activate cards, transport goods and score points.

At the end of the 12th round, the following are counted:

delivery points,

points on the cards,

bonuses obtained during the game.

Whoever has the highest total becomes themost influential merchant in Amsterdam.

💡Amsterdam is an elegant, deep, and punishing strategic puzzle: each round is a challenge of perfect timing between what you want now and what you’ll need tomorrow.

📜 REGOLAMENTO

Amsterdam Regulations in Italian

Amsterdam – In the veins of the city that trades with time

Build your trading empire through canals, routes, and choices that mature… just like the cubes on your compass rose.

Amsterdam wakes up under a milky sky, while boats loaded with goods cut through the canals amid golden reflections. and glasses of gin clinking in the harbour bars. You are there, at the dawn of the twentieth century, an ambitious merchant, ready to transform the city into your personal profit machine.

Each card is a possibility: a new district to conquer, a profession that overturns your strategy, a ship that could bring you wealth… or be left stranded without the cubes to sail it. But the heart of the game is time: those colored cubes that you place on the compass rose are not just resources, They are promises. A "6" is confidence in the future, a "1" is immediate power.

And as the harbor buzzes with opportunities, each shift becomes a subtle dance between planning and risk: between the present that calls you and the tomorrow that could turn the game upside down. Amsterdam is Feld in its purest state: elegant, sharp, strategic, a symphony of decisions that intertwine like the city's canals.

Macau's new life: deeper, more balanced, more Amsterdam than ever.

Amsterdam is a strategic board game for 1–4 players, designed by Stefan Feld and published by Queen Games , modern re-implementation of the classic Macau . The game introduces a brilliant system of cubes placed on a rotating compass rose , which determines when you will have access to your resources: a refined mix of long-term planning and tactical adaptation. Each round players select district, profession, and building cards , all with different costs and abilities, to be combined with a deep system of goods delivery via channels, resource management and perfect timing. With new balanced cards, refined interactions and revamped elements, Amsterdam offers extremely high replayability and a strategic level of a true eurogame for demanding players.

Mechanics with Sense – “Time as a Resource, the City as a Strategy”

The beating heart of Amsterdam is its windrose system, a device that turns dice into timing choices: do you want a few cubes now or many later? Every decision creates a personal rhythm, an economy that blossoms at the perfect moment… or too late.

Cards are purchased, prepared and combined to form a production engine made of subtle synergies, while channels offer delivery opportunities and valuable points. The interaction is indirect but constant: you steal a key card, you anticipate the opponent's movement, you optimize better in the long run.

Amsterdam rewards those who look ahead, those who don't react: plan. A strategy that matures just like the cubes on their wheel.
