In the Canon van Vlaanderen players connect 120 special historical characters, places, innovations, events and developments from the past of Flanders
The starting player plays a card with a character, place, innovation or event, to which all other players try to either find a card that is either as close as possible in time or finished the sentence on the first card in the funniest way.
Points are scored for the card with the closest date in time to the starting player's card and for the funniest combination of sentences on the cards.
