Hansa Teutonica East Expansion: new trade routes

The Hansa Teutonica East Expansion is the first expansion of the acclaimed economic board game Hansa Teutonica and opens new trade routes to the eastern regions of Europe. It includes a brand new map, nine mission cards, and additional rules that refresh the strategic experience of the base game.

Each mission card depicts three cities from the original map. When a player has Kontors in the specified cities, they can earn additional victory points at the end of the game. These hidden objectives create different priorities, encourage new development routes, and make opponents' moves harder to predict.

Sea routes and permanent bonuses

The East Expansion map shifts the competition to a new geographical area and introduces sea trade routes, where the use of Grosshändler becomes particularly significant. At the same time, the permanent bonus markers offer powerful advantages that remain active throughout the game. Players are called to expand their network, occupy important cities, displace opponents, and utilize every available action with precision.

The Hansa Teutonica East Expansion retains the core mechanics of action points, network and route building, area control, tech trees, and intense interaction. The new map adds greater variety without altering the elegant and competitive nature of the original eurogame.

A significant correction to the rules concerns the Kontor Network. For the trade connection between East and West, the rules incorrectly mention Leipzig, which is not on the map. The correct city is Lübeck, therefore the connection is calculated between Lübeck and Danzig.

Attention: The base game is required to play.
