Gorgeous game and also a joy to play

First of all - it just looks amazing. The box, the pieces... everything is lovely. The concept is fantastic - you're trying to make the 'best' painting and then you are scored on how good it is. You're not actually painting, but instead each player has three background cards, and they collect transparent cards with designs symbols on them. You layer these, which makes your 'painting' but you are trying to get the best set of symbols to win points. Your painting is scored when you layer three sheets, which makes both a set of symbols and a lovely picture with a name.

It makes sense when you play it.

The main thing is, it's a gentle, beautiful game that requires some concentration but is a peaceful, joyful experience to play. Highly recommended.

OVERVIEW

In Canvas, you play as a painter competing in an art competition. Players will collect art cards, layering 3 of them together to create their own unique Painting. Each card contains a piece of artwork as well as a set of icons used during scoring. Icons will be revealed or hidden based on the way players choose to layer the cards making for an exciting puzzle. Paintings are scored based on a set of Scoring cards which will change each game. Once players have created and scored 3 paintings the game ends.

On your turn you may take an Art card or make a painting. Art cards are selected from a row of cards in the center of play. Each of these cards has a cost associated with their position. After selecting an Art card you must pay its cost by placing an Inspiration token on each of the cards to its left. If you do not have enough Inspiration tokens, you may not select that card. Any tokens on the card you have selected are kept for future turns. The far left card costs no Inspiration tokens to take.

If you have three or more Art cards you may chose to make a painting. Select 3 of your art cards, arrange them in any order and then score them by comparing the visible icons on your painting to the Scoring conditions.

Once all players have made 3 paintings the game ends.

The player with the most points wins!
