About the game
Players represent wealthy families in one of the most thriving European cities of the 16th century: Antverpia (=Antwerp in Belgium). They gain wealth by shipping sugar, cloth and beer overseas, construct new buildings, and help building the 6 most important churches of the city by granting donations to them. But it is not the wealthiest family who will win the game, instead it will be the family who has donated most wisely to the churches. This expansion of the game Hamburgum offers not only a different map with a new allocation of buildings, but also different rules for the donations and visiting the church space on the rondel. Other than in original Hamburgum, church districts do not exist, all donations have to be taken in a certain order, a church tax is implemented on the rondel, and ships give more victory points. The board uses historical views taken from original maps of the 16th century and is printed from both sides: Antverpia on the one side, and a new map of Hamburgum on the other. New and beautifully illustrated church donations will come with the expansion, printed on thick cardboard. Other than that, the game material from Hamburgum should be used (real bricks, metal bells, coins etc.).

Hamburgum: Antverpia supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Hamburgum: Antverpia is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Hamburgum: Antverpia for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Hamburgum: Antverpia has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
