Hansa Teutonica Gameplay Runthrough

[@mikefoster6018]

My absolute favourite boardgame ever. It constantly evolves each time you play, has rules that are quite easy to remember, and you can really channel your 'intuitive' smarts without it having to be too AP. After each game the answer to how you could have scored better is never a dry 'efficiency' question - it's all about tactics and strategy. An oldie but goldy. It also has superb expansion maps and a couple of fun little mini expansion elements (one adds a small hidden scoring goal for each player and the other gives you bigger, costlier skills to develop on your tableau).

[@ricksams2002]

So glad to see this game getting some love. This is one of my favorite games.

[@Ashwinz]

I love you Rahdo!! Hansa Teutonica is One of my favorite gaming experiences ever!

22:25: you can use a bonus tile on the same turn that you got it. 23:52: I believe the active player chooses the city where the neutral player's piece goes.

[@carveking]

One of my top 10 board games! I really need to play the expansions

[@LordAsteroth]

At 21:08, Rahdo forgot to put the pieces Jen used back into the supply.

Thank you, Rahdo! I have been eagerly awaiting your runthrough of this game! I have it, and I had read through the rulebook, but there were some things which I was unsure of how they worked, so I had been waiting a few years for this game to get the Rahdo treatment so that I could actually see how the game plays!

19:27 Jen should get *2* traders from the supply, because a merchant was displaced

[@PauloRenato23]

note added... thanks

[@theSolemnBard]

27:20 Because every office in a city was claimed the city track at top left should increase. This is the other possible endgame trigger

[@theSolemnBard]

Oh, didn't even realize, same thing at 24:20

Where can i find the new 2-players-rules of Hansa Teutonica played on this video?

[@rahdo]

here's a good fan made summary that's better than what was in the updated official rulebooks: boardgamegeek.com/filepage/49769/hansa-teutonica-revised-english-rulespdf its what i used

[@rahdo]

oops, wrong link! here we go: boardgamegeek.com/filepage/150432/clarification-official-2-player-variant

[@nebelung1]

I can't find this anywhere.. Hoping for a reprint too. The cover is so funny, the game board being inside the picture is super meta. Also I just love mellow and clear boards like this... and the Hansa theme.

@@rahdo Nice! thanks for the heads up

[@christopherboethius5314]

This seems very similar to Endeavour. It's interesting that they came out around the same time so many years ago, and both are finally getting reprinted. My local gameshop has had this sitting on a shelf for almost ten years, maybe it's time to finally pick it up. I really like the option of putting yourself in an opponent's way, to then potentially acquire an extra worker once they kick you out.

[@JJ_TheGreat]

So how do you upgrade the different color offices? Also, what are the 7, 8, 9, 11 numbers in the bottom left of the board?

[@theSolemnBard]

The special city at the top center lets you upgrade your privilege. The special city in the lower left lets you place a merchant (if you used one in the route) on one of the numbers to score those points at the end of the game.

[@JJ_TheGreat]

Thomas Brendel Thank you!

[@davidkok2489]

Top 10 if all time!!

[@xChikyx]

17:04 shouldn't he be gaining points?

[@PauloRenato23]

why?

[@xChikyx]

@@PauloRenato23 think he said when you control a house, players playing in the street that leads to it gives a point?

[@PauloRenato23]

@@xChikyx you misunderstood... what he said is when a Route is complete players in Office on adjacent cities gain 1 Point... not when players place things on the road... if it was like that they would reach 20 points very quick and the game would end very fast

[@xChikyx]

@@PauloRenato23 ahhh yeah, i thought that, thanks

[@anab0lic]

This is getting a reprint soon right?

[@rahdo]

that's the rumor, but i have no inside info!

[@filiplazov5895]

a bix box version is scheduled for 2020, there is a BGG entry

[@rahdo]

well then, not so much of a rumor! :)

[@anab0lic]

@@filiplazov5895 wasn't there also supposed to be a mobster re theme or did that get scrapped?

[@filiplazov5895]

anab0lic yeah seems like they silently put that one under the rug

Since you wonderfully invented a new pronunciation every time you had to say it, just for the record, Hildesheim is pronounced Hill-diss-hyme.

hopefully i got the hyme part right! :)

@@rahdo hyme shmyme! by the way, love your videos. They’re my go-to for learning rules. Something about the lets-explain-it-as-we-go just works great for me. So thank you for that :)
