Watch “Cøpenhagen Game Designers Interview,” a board game interview for Copenhagen from Bastard Café on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Bastard Café on YouTube:
Daniel and Asger, the board game designers behind the new board game Cøpenhagen and regulars here at Bastard Café sat down with us to tell us a bit about our Game of The Month here at Bastard Cafe and how it came into being.
During the game of Cøpenhagen, players will be architects striving to replace the facades of Copenhagens most famous street, Nyhavn, or New Harbour. The street is known for its rows of colourful gabled houses that sit along the waterfront and each round players will be collecting sets of cards which they may trade in for different shaped tiles which they will then place in a Tetris like manner. The first to complete their new facade and reach the 12 points, wins the game.

About Copenhagen, from BoardGameGeek:
The Danish city of Copenhagen is traversed by canals and harbors, and part of it - "Nyhavn" (New Harbor) - is famous for the colorful gabled houses along the water.
In Copenhagen, players design new façades for these houses so that they fit seamlessly into this beautiful harbor setting. On a turn, a player may choose to take two adjacent cards from the display (they may never hold more than 7 cards), or use cards to buy facade tiles in various shapes and colors. Any tile may be purchased, but you get a discount if you place a tile touching another one of the same color. Building over certain spaces or completing designated rows grants the players new abilities to make their job easier. Finishing a row or column will award the player points (doubled if it is all windows), and the game is a race to 12 points.
Copenhagen comes in several versions. The current in print versions are a Base Game with cardboard tiles, and a Deluxe edition (2022 printing) with: an alternative cover, laser cut acrylic tiles with transparent windows, and the "Nyhavn" and "New Facades" Queenies (expansion modules). These queenies were previously released separately and may be purchased in cardboard as the Copenhagen Queenie Box.
Editions No Longer Available:
The original Kickstarter included a Deluxe edition (same cover as base game with a "Deluxe edition" stamp) with acrylic tiles but no Queenies, and a Collectors Edition that came with the base game and a Queenie set.
