	Description Edit \| History

Players are merchants of the Hanseatic League. Players take control of the ship and buy and sell goods, establish trading posts, and sail to find new markets. The board is a very simple map of Scandinavia, with arrows from point to point restricting where the boat is able to move. The active player takes control of the boat and must pay to move to each new city where he may either buy, sell, or expand. Players want sets of goods that they can trade for victory points, but also need to expand their market presence to generate revenue.

Expanded by:

Hansa: Changing Winds (and, previously, Hansa Extrakarte)

Hansa Scoring Sheet

Scoring sheet with 3 charts (just put the right goods marker on the corresponding number of sold markers on the chart and you'll now how many points u got for them) which greatly simplifies counting victory points awarded for sold goods markers. Along with that I managed to insert the scoring rules as found in the rulebook. I replaced words with actual graphics to avoid misunderstandings ( I always get confused about good markers and market booths). I tried it and it works.. counting points get a lot less daunting! Bye!
