About this expansion

Hansa: Changing Winds is an expansion map for Hansa, supporting 2–4 players in games that take around 45 minutes.

The expansion gives players new opportunities to ship goods among the Hanseatic League. Its map changes the available possibilities for moving goods, adding a different setting for Hansa’s established play.

A central feature of Changing Winds is the option to move the ship against the arrows on the board. This movement is available at a cost of 2 gold, creating an additional way to navigate the map during the game.

  • Expansion map for Hansa
  • New opportunities to ship goods
  • Movement against the board arrows for 2 gold
  • Additional endgame scoring mechanisms

Hansa: Changing Winds also adopts the additional endgame scoring mechanisms seen in Hansa Extrakarte. These scoring rules become part of the expansion’s endgame, giving the conclusion of play an additional scoring framework.

Released in 2006, this expansion is designed for players who want a new map for Hansa while retaining its Hanseatic League setting. With its alternate ship movement and added endgame scoring, Changing Winds presents a concise way to vary the experience across a 45-minute game.
