Hansa Teutonica

Hansa Teutonica. I was able to teach it to a bunch of Japanese people at a game store in Japan. With half of them not speaking English. They all loved the game.

Or a game like Hansa Teutonica, which is still a weighty game that you can be breezey about but still have the stakes of another player being a thorn.

Hansa Teutonica. The artwork, the box, the components, the name ... none of them help convince people that this is a banger. But it absolutely is.

A bit of a revival in "old school euros' with titles like Furnace, Carnegie, and a rediscovering of Hansa Teutonica due to a much watched SUSD video

Hansa Teutonica is a top five game and is unfortunately stuck outside the top 100. I know people think it looks dry and is themed dryly, but the gameplay is unbelievably good, highly interactive, plays quickly, has multiple maps (the very affordable and normal-sized Big Box), and has limitless replayability due to how much of the game is player-controlled.

to heavier Euros like Hansa Teutonica and Through the Ages

Hansa Teutonica. One of my top five games now, but I didn't have a good first impression. Art is meh, theme is... niche? But man it's a clever game.

Hansa Teutonica is an amazing game with an entirely appropriate but also very boring theme.
