The multi-award-winning strategy game Hansa Teutonica is back in a Big Box edition including the base game and all expansions. In the game, players attempt to increase their standing as merchants in the Hanseatic League by gaining prestige points in various ways. For instance, they can try to establish a network of counting offices in new Hansa cities by occupying an entire trade route between two cities — but before that happens, player markers can also be displaced by other players. Players may also aim to develop their trading skills, improving their abilities throughout the course of play. With only two actions per turn and a variety of contested opportunities, every turn is equally quick and strategically demanding.
Hansa Teutonica is a highly interactive strategy game as players block and push each other each turn, but it also gives cunning players the chance to put being blocked into an advantage. The game’s many possible strategies can also be tested and perfected on the variant game boards of the beloved Britannia and East expansions.

Current favorite game (even though I'm terrible at it). Just wanna keep playing. It really is the perfect game in my opinion. It shows that you can achieve a lot with very little. Setup is fast, turns are fast and apart from most recent euros it actually has A LOT of interaction. In fact the whole game more or less depends on constant confrontation.

This is one of the best euro games ever made. Lots of fun crunchy decision space and an excellent ramp up to the end of the game. Love the form factor for the amount of game in this box. If I was to say anything negative about this, it would be that it looks like your typical euro game (which doesn't bother me as it gives a classic feel but I can see it working against getting it to the table)

Hansa might just be the best 'Euro' ever - it's a counterpoint to every game that deems it necessary to shove as many mechanisms, resource types (and converters) and worker placement actions as possible into itself in order to present a challenging experience. At the heart of each action in Hansa, all you're doing is either placing a cube on the board or pushing existing cubes into new spots, yet the ramifications of this are enormous and delicious. The simplicity of these actions belies the game's incredible strategic depth.
