Test Run: Hansa Teutonica

By: Jacelyn and Junyet

Players: Jun Yet (green), Jc (blue), Niyi (yellow), Nick (purple), Hans (red)

I quite like this game. Compared to other games, this game has very few components to handle. Games like, Battlestar Galactica, World of Warcraft and Power Grid etc requires playes to replenish this, arrange that, shuffle the cards every now and then, and I think it affects the game experience a little bit for me.

Hansa Teutonica is a simple, elegant game with a lot of strategy involved. And all you have to manage is your cubes. No cards, no resources to replenish, nothing. Just your hand of cubes, and your stock of cubes.

The theme of the game is that we're merchants trying to increase our reputation in the merchant's guild, by establishing trade routes.  Actually the mechanic drives the game, instead of theme.


Latecomers dont get to play! :P


JC: That annoying green piece came from Jun Yet =P. He specializes in denying easy tokens and upgrades and gets displaced 90% of the time.

 Staring intently at that corner of the board...... All of them planning something sinister there.

JC: My main aim of the game is just to upgrade anything and everything :P

Final score: Jacelyn won with quite a big margin. She upgraded most of her skills and was pretty much unstoppable.
