Provenance

Where it came from

Anno 1503 was released in 2003 as a tabletop board game adaptation of the popular real-time strategy video game franchise. Designed by Klaus Teuber, the creator of Catan, the game was published by Mayfair Games to capture the resource management and exploration themes of the digital counterpart within a physical, turn-based format.

The design of the game focuses on tile-based development and expansion, reflecting the colonial and economic aspirations central to the Anno series. While the video game was noted for its intricate city-building mechanics, Teuber’s board game interpretation was received by the hobbyist community as a distinct endeavor that simplified complex digital systems into a manageable engine-building experience for the tabletop.
