Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer

Story:Hanse is a managerial strategy game set in the 14th century. The player takes the role of an ambitious citizen who wants to become the mayor of Lübeck. To reach this goal he has to get rich by trading with other cities of the Hanseatic League. The basic gameplay principle is simple: shipping salt and exchanging it for other goods which then can be sold in Lübeck for a good price. This means the current salt price is the most important part when planning shipments (besides the weather). Of course the player also has to purchase and maintain other things, e.g. a trading station, ships and cannons. Alternatively the player can also participate in smuggling.Show more

I played this game together with my mother on an Amstrad CPC464. We played for days and weeks and had a lot of fun. I bought it later also for PC and could play it on a 286er with Monocrome Monitor.

I played this quite a bit, back in the day. I always liked economic simulators and this one was very engaging and unique to my young mind, what with the historical setting and all. (I hadn't heard of the Patrician games then.) I also liked the art style a lot, from the beautiful backgrounds that look like oil paintings to the calligraphy font used everywhere. Quite a good looking game, esp. for the time. Only the little animated person that would inidicate the size or quantity of things in addition to the numbers looked a bit goofy. I also vaguely remember the game having some fitting and pleasant background music, although I couldn't humm any of the tunes today. Would very much like to play this one again.
