It is the 16th century: the small fishing village of Altona is founded near Hamburg and soon grows into a serious rival to the venerable Hanseatic city. But although Altona finally became part of Hamburg in the 20th century, the history of the rival cities could have taken a different course ...

However, whether these are really worth anything will only become clear if one of the cities does not achieve immediate victory by gaining an unassailable lead in one of the four success areas - reputation, processes, ships or alliances.
