Released in 2023, this game is perfect for 1 to 4 players looking for a challenging and immersive experience that will keep them engaged for 100 to 180 minutes. As a young merchant in the medieval Hanseatic League, you'll have the opportunity to gain power and influence by trading with other cities, commissioning buildings, and securing important privileges.

With its complex rules and multiple mechanics, Aelderman is a game that will take some time to learn, but the payoff is well worth the effort. Whether you're playing solo or with friends, Aelderman offers a thrilling and immersive experience that will transport you to a world of medieval trade and commerce.
