The Queen of Hansa

About this board game

The Queen of Hansa is a trading game for 2–4 players that takes about 45 minutes to play. Set in the late Middle Ages, it places you in Lübeck, the prosperous central city of the Hanseatic League.

The Hanseatic League is an alliance of cities that dominates northern Europe’s economy. Lübeck’s prosperity has earned it the title Queen of the Hansa, creating a fitting setting for merchants seeking fortune through regional trade.

In the game, each player takes the role of a Lübeck merchant. Your goal is to acquire more wealth than any other merchant by trading with other cities in the League.

• Play as a merchant based in Lübeck.
• Trade with cities across the Hanseatic League.
• Compete to accumulate more wealth than your opponents.

The Queen of Hansa focuses on the competitive pursuit of wealth within a powerful medieval trading alliance. Its central setting connects Lübeck’s prosperity with the broader economic influence of the Hanseatic League, giving every merchant the same clear ambition: become richer than the rest.

Released in 2019, The Queen of Hansa offers a focused experience for groups of two to four players. Whether you are playing with one rival or a larger table of merchants, the game invites you to pursue prosperity through trade among the League’s cities.
