Road to Infamy Games
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 choose 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!

Interesting Game
Canvas is a really interesting game. I like that it is different from any other game I have. I enjoy the challenge of creating a beautiful art piece while still earning enough points to win. Fun!

Beautiful game!
Canvas is a GREAT family game. Easy gameplay, fun drafting, and beautiful theme make it a really easy game to get into. There are moments where a player might fall into Analysis Paralysis, but it doesnt stall the game (it is very short) and the more you play, the more you get used to the mechanics. The shining star of Canvas is its artwork and design. The card combinations, more often than not, end up painting a pretty picture which is very attractive to non-hobbyists. Production value is very high quality, even in the retail edition. Overall, better at player counts higher than two, but still a super enjoyable duel. Canvas is a nice short puzzle that provides a very satisfying and rewarding time.

Neat, Puzzle-y Card Crafting Game
Canvas has only hit the table once, but everyone enjoyed the puzzle of crafting the cards and trying to find the best possible combo of three cards. The 5 card limit creates some tension in that you can't just hold out forever. It's a make the best of what you've got game that is very approachable.

Easy to learn, awesome to play
Easy and light rules, and with seceral opportunities to combine different cards and also have a great time with any type of player. You can play trying to get the best art compositoon or best combination of cards and in both have a great time.

Gorgeous Game.
Canvas is a beautiful family-level game about painting. It's the first game to use transparent cards in a clever way that doesn't feel like a gimmick.

Artsy
This layered card game is easy to set up. Your goal is to create works of art by layering your cards to create a painting. Each painting will have scoring iconography at the bottom of each card which can be superimposed on other cards within your painting. By design, the replayability is high due to the various combination of scoring criteria that change with each game. Some paintings are easy to score one game and the next, complicated and mind-boggling. One rant against the game is the tiny game box. We own the KS edition and it's tought to stuff everything back in. We own 3 copies. 2 are being shipped out for Christmas.

Wonderful Little Puzzle-ish Game
Canvas is a very beautiful little game about getting the right set of three pieces of art to create your masterpieces; and complete objectives along the way. It ends up being a bit of a puzzler, with you sussing out which pieces of art will complete your painting in the best possible way. Fully recommend.
