About the game
Game description from the publisher: With Kaispeicher, there will be even more to do between the warehouses and channels of The Speicherstadt. This expansion adds new wares and cards to the game, including not only new buildings, orders and ships, but also several actions that will allow you to gain an advantage or make life difficult for your opponents. There is also a new figure for each player, which – in conjunction with the new auction mechanism – will add a whole new level of tactical options. This expansion includes 25 real metal coins, bringing even more life to the busy port city of Hamburg!

Questions and answers
Kaispeicher 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 Kaispeicher is 60–90 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 Kaispeicher for ages 8 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.
Kaispeicher has a complexity rating of 2.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light 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.
Kaispeicher belongs to these categories: Economic, Bluffing, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Set Collection and Auction / Bidding.

The catalogue lists Kaispeicher as an expansion for The Speicherstadt.

Check that your edition of The Speicherstadt is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
