What this is
In Hansa Teutonica, players build networks of merchants along the roads and market towns of the Hanseatic League. The players act as traders trying to get victory points for building a network of offices, controlling cities, collecting bonus markers or for other traders using the cities they control. After controlling a line between two cities with their pawns they can decide to build an office (and maybe also establish control and/or get a bonus marker) or to get a skill improvement from some of the cities.
