Hansa
Share one ship around Scandinavia, buying, selling and planting trading posts as Hanseatic merchants.
Who it's for
Euro fans who enjoy interactive economic games with a shared central piece and tight timing, especially head-to-head at two.
Not for you if…
You want depth, theme or many players. It is light and a little dry, and with four the shared ship can create waiting and less control.
Vibe's take
A tense sharing puzzle where controlling the single ship, and leaving it awkward for the next player, drives every decision.

About this game
As Hanseatic merchants, you all share a single ship, taking turns steering it around Scandinavia to buy, sell and plant trading posts. Whoever holds the ship pays to move it, then makes one deal per stop, so timing your control of that lone vessel is everything. Balance grabbing goods for points against expanding your reach for future income.
