Hansa Teutonica: Big Box

Take the Income action on your turn; depending on your Bank ability you may hire up to 3, 5, 7 or all available tradesmen from the general stock into your personal supply (if there aren’t enough you take only what’s available). Only tradesmen in your personal supply may be used for the Place action (page 4).

No — the Place action lets you put one tradesman from your personal supply on a free connection point (one not already occupied by you or an opponent) (page 4).

No — occupying all connections does not automatically create the trade route; you must perform action E) Create 1 trade route and then resolve its steps (scoring, taking a bonus marker, and optionally establishing a trading post) to establish a post (pages 4–5).

To displace, you replace the opponent’s tradesman with one of your own and must return 1 extra tradesman from your personal supply to the general stock for a trader (2 for a merchant); the displaced player must immediately place the displaced piece plus 1 (or plus 2 for a merchant) from the general stock onto free connection points on adjacent trade routes (with several fallbacks if the stock or their supply is empty) (page 4).

You may use a bonus marker any time during your turns after completing the Create action that earned it — you can even use it later that same turn, but not during the same action step in which you took it; using a bonus marker costs no action and it is flipped face‑down after use and scored at game end (pages 5 and 8).

The game end can only be triggered during action E) Create 1 trade route and occurs if someone reaches 20+ prestige, if a player must draw a replacement bonus marker but the supply is empty, or if the Completed Cities marker reaches the tenth city; the active player completes that Create action but any remaining actions are lost and the game ends immediately (page 7).
