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 Hansa Teutonica: Britannia and Hansa Teutonica: East Expansion.

Changes over original: Two different Emperor’s Favour tokens. Old: Get 5 PP when you build the most trading posts. New: Get 2 additional PP for each trading post. Old: To displace your merchant, players need to pay 3 traders instead of 2. New: If one of your traders is displaced, get 2 tradesmen from the general stock instead of 1. Original print run issues: Perhaps fixed in the April 2021 reprint: 1: The Scotland/Wales 3-4 player board has a misprint in the blue bonus marker on the bottom, which should show both Scotland/Wales. 2. Southampton is misspelled - p is currently omitted. 3. Rules errors: 3a: The Big Box rules fails to mention that you must always remove your pieces when completing a trade route (but it's mentioned in the "rules to remember" part). 3b: Argentum has an error for placing bonus markers. The correct rule is that the route you place on must have at least one vacant/free trading post space. Personal Copy: Added extra sets of pieces for color blindness from Blue/Purple from RailsOnBoards.com
