PLAYED FOR YOU
Kaispeicher
Fishmarket, lorry, accountant….
Kaispeicher is the first expansion for Die Speicherstadt.
There are now new goods cubes for hemp, fabric and glass, 50 new trade cards that are marked for easier separation after the game, 2 break cards, one new worker per player and 2 grey workers as well as 25 metal coins. The new trade cards comprise 35 different cards in total, from Order to Insurance or Fish Market, from Theater to Teahouse and from Snitch to Truck, Smuggler or Rope Maker, who all turn up in the harbor now.
The game is played in rounds as usual, comprising the phases Supply, Demand, Purchase, Loading and Income. For the Supply phase you place another row of cards above the board, again number of players + 1 cards, so that there are twice as many cards available as in Die Speicherstadt. In the Demand phase you can place a worker into a building spot as usual or use him to reserve a card in the upper display. In the Purchase phase you first deal with the water spot cards, then the reserved cards are offered; the cost for a reserved card, if you want to buy it which you need not do, is equal to the number of reserved cards in the row. When using Kaispeicher, the fixed income per round is 2 coins plus 1 coin if you did not acquire any trade card.
Kaispeicher, due to the double number of cards available from Supply, offers an impressive and large range of choices for new action without changing the basic flow or feeling of the cards; the expansion thus melds into the game very easily. Kaispeicher is a harmonious, very beautifully done and very elegant expansion, easy to play, the only heaviness in the expansion is provided by the classy metal coins.
