Hansa Teutonica
Andreas Steding has already designed one game about the Hanseatic League—the excellent Kogge, in which players traded around the Baltic Sea. Here he returns to the theme with a land-based trading game. The board shows a network of cities, connected by roads. Players get victory points for
building
a network of offices, controlling cities and for other traders using the cities they control.
Instead of scoring points, players can choose to improve their traders ‘skills’. The better the skills, the more points they should score later, so there’s a balance to be struck between taking points and building for the future.
Hansa Teutonica was launched at the 2009 Spiel games fair in Essen, where it was ranked 9th in Fairplay magazine’s final poll of attendees’ favourite games.
For 2-5 players, aged 12+, playing time 60 minutes: £30.00
