Description provided by Brettballett - Brettspiele und Nerd-Stuff on YouTube:
Im Stile der großen Videospielklassiker wie Fugger, Hanse oder Patrizier schickt sich Aelderman an ein Brettspiel rund um den Handel und Städtebau im Mittelalter zu sein.
Dabei überrascht das Erstlingswerk vor allem mit einer sehr starken Komplexität.
Ich gebe euch einen Überblick, wie das Spiel sich spielt und sage euch, wie es bei mir ankam.

About Aelderman, from BoardGameGeek:
Join us on a journey to the Middle Ages - a time when emerging trading cities became important influential factors in the political game for power and wealth. Originating in Luebeck, the Hanseatic Trade League is formed, long-distance traders join forces and thereby create unprecedented wealth in northern Europe. There are many opportunities for young merchants to gain power and influence. Nevertheless, only few have the chance to be elected to the most influential position and thus lead the Hanseatic Trade League as Aelderman.
Aelderman is a competitive Euro-Game for 2-4 players. You embody an ambitious merchant in the medieval Hanseatic League and fight for your place at the top of the trade alliance! Through lucrative trading with other Hanseatic cities, you increase your wealth and gain more and more influence in the entire region of the North and Baltic Sea. Meanwhile, you contribute to the development of the flourishing city of Luebeck by commissioning useful buildings. Try to secure important privileges during the Hanseatic Convention in the Council Hall before your opponents take them away from you.
Use your limited action points wisely to trade goods and gain wealth. But money alone will not be enough to win this strategic Euro-Game. Rather you must secure as many victory points in the form of council votes as possible through influence majorities on the sea map, your reputation in the city of Luebeck and through various privileges and luxury goods to become Aelderman and win the game.
