KAISPEICHER The expansion for “The Speicherstadt”
K
Overview
Did you have a lot of fun with “The Speicherstadt” but felt it was over too soon? Do you wonder what else there is to
experience in the large warehouse district of Hamburg? “Kaispeicher” is full of new challenges. It includes 50 new cards, a
clever extra bidding mechanism, and “real” metal coins.
1. Set up “The Speicherstadt” in the same way as in the basic
game.
2. Put all 54 goods into the bag (including the 9 new ones).
3. If you wish, you may play with the metal coins. (But place
the old coins nearby in case additional coins are needed.)
4. As in the basic game, each player receives 5 coins from
the supply.
5. The 2 gray workers should be set aside, as they are
needed later in the game.
6. Each player chooses a color and places 1 worker of that
color on the 0 space of the score track.
7. The remaining 4 workers of each color are placed in front
of their respective players.
8. From the pile of new cards, remove the “Start” card and
the 2 “Break” cards and put them aside. They are needed
later in the game.
Components
50 new trade cards
For a better distinction from the old
cards, all new ones are marked with
a in the lower right corner.
12 x Winter (A) 12 x Spring (B) 12 x Summer (C) 14 x Autumn (D)
1 “Start” card 9 goods cubes 3 x hemp (gray) 3 x fabric (pink) 3 x glass (blue)
2 “Break” cards 7 workers (1 in each of the 5 player colors, 2 gray ones) 25 metal coins
Setup
9. Then take all trade cards (old and new ones) and sort
them according to their backs.
10. According to the number of players, remove the following
Autumn (D) trade cards from the pile and return them to
the box. They won’t be needed:
2 players: Port / Fireman with the value 3 /
Mayor / Truck
3 players: Boatsmen Church / Fireman with the value 3 /
Mayor / Truck
4 players: none
5 players: Boatsmen Church / Fireman with the value 3 /
Mayor / Truck
11. Proceed with all other trade cards as described in the rule
book of “The Speicherstadt” in section 10 of the Setup.
12. The player who most recently went to Hamburg becomes
the first player and receives the “Start” card.

1) Supply
Take the top cards from the draw pile and place them in a
row face-up, from left to right on the water spaces. As usual,
the number of uncovered cards equals the number of
players +1. Now, in addition, you lay out the same number of
cards above the game board. So there are always twice as
many cards to choose from as in the basic game.
2) Demand
As usual, starting with the first player and then in clockwise
direction, each player places one of his workers on the
lowest free building space above a card of his choice. But
now you also have the option of reserving a card of your
choice from the row above the board. To do this, you take
one of these cards, place it next to the lower left side of the
board, and put one of your workers onto it. If there are
already one or more reserved cards, the new card must
always be placed above the last reserved one.
The phase ends when each player has placed all his workers.
3) Purchase
As in the basic game, first carry out the purchases of all
cards from the water spaces. Then the reserved cards next
to the game board are available for purchase. Start with the
lowest card in the row. The card can only be purchased by
the player who placed his worker on it. If the player wants
to buy the card, he must return a number of coins to the
stock equal to the number of reserved cards in the row.
Accountant
1: 0/0/0/1
At the end of the game, you receive 1 additional
point for each of your Contracts, regardless of
whether the Contract has been completed or not.
Auction Hall
1: 0/0/1/0
At any point in the game, you may take 1 good of
your choice from the stock. You must load this good
immediately (using it with one of your cards). After
that, discard the Auction Hall.
Playing the game
The game still consists of several rounds, each comprising 5 phases:
1) Supply 2) Demand 3) Purchase 4) Loading 5) Income
The end of the game is identical to the end of the basic game.
End of the game
The new trade cards
2
If the player does
not want to buy
the card, he pays
nothing and the
card is discarded.
As usual, the
worker returns to
the player. Then
the next lowest
card from the row
is available for
purchase and so
on.
At the end of the
phase, if there are
cards left above
the game board,
they are discarded.
Example:
First Black is allowed to buy
the lowest card for 3 coins.
Then Orange may buy his
reserved card for 2 coins.
Finally Blue may buy his
reserved card for 1 coin.
4) Loading
Loading is carried out exactly as in the basic game by selling
goods cubes or moving them to appropriate cards.
5) Income
Each player now receives 2 coins from the stock. Players who
didn’t purchase any trade cards this round receive
1 additional coin. Afterward, the first player hands the
“Start” card to the player on his left and a new round begins.
Note: If you reach space 39 on the score track, you continue counting your points on the 0 (= 40 points). At the end of the game,
these 40 points are simply added to your result.
All cards are listed in alphabetical order.
The figures on the right side of the title indicate the number of appearances of a card in total and in the 4 seasons (A/B/C/D),
respectively.
Carpet Storage

When you purchase this card, you also take the two
“Break” cards that were put aside during setup.
You may now pass during phase 2) “Demand” by
discarding a “Break” card instead of placing a
worker. This gives you the advantage of stalling
and placing your workers later in the round. After
using both “Break” cards, also discard the Coffee
Break.

6: 0/2/2/2
For the 3 new kinds of goods, there are
corresponding Contracts:
