Get ready to give your Hansa Teutonica experience an extra boost! This expansion, "Emperor's Favour," introduces a strategic twist and tough decisions that can turn the game in your favor. If you enjoy the base game and want more options to manipulate the prestige system and influence the emperor, this is for you.

The core idea here is that at the beginning of your turn, you can choose to pass and forfeit all your actions. But it's not free! You have to pay two of your bonus markers, which are then flipped face down, losing their special abilities. In return, you secure an exclusive "favour" that remains active for the rest of the game. Think carefully, as you can only purchase one favour per round. These favours can grant you a unique advantage, but they come at a cost and make you miss out on other opportunities. It's a trade-off between immediate gain and long-term cost, with those face-down bonus markers still contributing prestige points at the end. The expansion adds 6 of these favours, and at the start of the game, a number equal to the number of players is randomly drawn and revealed. Who will manage to secure the emperor's best favour? It's an addition that doesn't radically change the game but adds an extra layer of planning and interesting choices for those who already master the trade routes of the Hanseatic League. If you're looking for more depth and new ways to score, this promo is a great pick.
