Concordia

Product Information

Although Concordia feels like it is from 2003, it was actually published just five years ago, in 2013.

This is an incredibly fine line to walk, and while my gut says that Gerdts has pulled it off, my head knows that I need to play it more before I can know. Others will be heavy on land or sea travel, or will shift the balance of power toward a certain scoring type depending on player count. While I don’t think the game needs this necessarily, my favorite map (Egyptus) has a bit of a gimmick, with additional resources traveling downriver and waiting for players to race to claim them first. Concordia is the antithesis of that way of thinking, and therefore I don’t think we’ll ever get along.That said — I whole-heartedly agree: playing at two players removes so much of the tension in the game. This feels like a minor gripe in a board game adaptation that does nearly everything else right however not a game goes by where I don’t wish it wasn’t included. When you use the prefect action, instead of producing resources, you can instead take all of the coins shown to flip back every tile to its resource side! Your aim is to use these resources and action cards to spread your colonists across the map, leaving settlements along the way.

If you had 3 colonists at the end of the game and 4 cards which had Mars on them then you would score 24 VP; 6 for the 3 colonists multiplied by the 4 copies of the Mars cards you have. Action of the Colonist card (second part): The rulebook says to take two Sestertii for every colonist you have on the board (as an alternative to building new colonists), the card itself says to take five Sestertii plus one for every colonist you have on the board.

Fortunately, it’s not a module that is necessary to play with the salsa (salt) resource or the Salsa maps.

At cities you can build buildings which give you access to the goods there (of which there are 5 kinds). The app launches with the base game of Concordia including an alternative map allowing for a varied and tighter game and Acram have committed to bringing all of the expansions to the app with the first scheduled for November 2021. All of them have to do with having colonists, having goods/money, or spreading your buildings across the board.I would absolutely recommend Concordia for your digital collection, whether you enjoy heavy economic games or lighter games I think there’s definitely something for you to find here and it’s a must own for me for any board game app fan out there. It’s also important to be able to look at the map and see what cities have houses in them, where the colonists are, and the cost to build a new house in a given city. Because, in Concordia, it doesn’t only matter how much of something you possess at the end of the game that determines how much VP you score for it but it is also multiplied by the number of the matching God you have on your cards. Concordia comes with a couple maps to play on, and somewhat famously has about 10 official variant maps (probably more by the time this review is published). CONCORDIA is a peaceful strategy game of economic development in Roman times for 2 to 5 players age 14 and up.
