Board Game Hansa Teutonica. Big Box

The German Hanseatic League — is an alternative name for the Hanseatic League between merchant guilds, and later between cities located in Lower Germany. The cities that joined the league were called Hanseatic. The league appeared in the middle of the 12th century without any clear reason for this, and until the second half of the 14th century there were no formal requirements for admission to it. Thus, it is almost impossible to determine exactly which cities were part of the league during this period, but in one way or another almost 200 cities participated in the league.

COMPLETE EDITION

The set includes the base game and 3 expansions — — «Eastern Lands», «Britain», «Emperor`s Favor». Players have access to two additional fields and six additional tiles.

ABOUT THE GAME

During the game, participants try to increase their trading reputation in the Hanseatic League by gaining prestige points. This can be achieved in a variety of ways, including establishing a network of offices in new Hanseatic cities and improving their trading skills. Players perform various actions during their turns. They can place traders on the field, move them, and even remove other players` traders. If they completely occupy a trade route between two cities, a new office will be established. Or, players can develop their trading skills in certain cities, improving their abilities throughout the game. The player who has accumulated the most prestige points wins.

PLAYER TABLETS

Each player receives a personal tablet to use. On the board, you need to place wooden tokens of traders and merchants — on all positions except the first in each area. Uncovered positions — are the level of development in each direction. During the game, by connecting cities with yellow flags, you can improve your parameters — to do this, remove one token to your reserve. This way you increase the number of tokens available to you, which will allow you to more actively lay routes and, most importantly, develop your abilities. The actions available during the player`s turn are depicted at the bottom of the board.

END OF THE GAME AND SCORING

The game lasts several rounds, in which players take turns performing actions. The game ends when one of three conditions is met:

• one of the players gains 20 prestige points;
• the marker on the filled cities track reaches position 10;
• there are no bonus tokens left in the supply.

If one of the conditions is met — the game ends instantly and players proceed to counting points. Additional points are awarded for: a network of offices, advantage in cities, bonus tokens and a city with reputation points. Additional points are added to those scored during the game and the winner is determined based on the results.
