plus the goods depicted beneath the card's position on the game board, where a question mark stands for a good of the player's choice.

Firstly, you choose your difficulty level: standard, veteran or expert. I’ll be honest, the first solo game I played on standard level I lost by quite some distance. I don’t mind that though, because it was a really good way of getting a feel for the game. The next time I played I… well, I still lost quite heavily. I am at peace with being just really bad at games. You’ve Got To Know When To Hold ‘Em A funny thing happened at the end of this particular play of Concordia: a number of us looked at each other and said the same thing:Again this is a fine line that has to be walked in any game of this type, and I can’t be certain how well Concordia has done it at this point. My head says that this is exactly the kind of game that can probably be figured out with a moderate amount of play, and that avoiding that fate is so difficult to design. My heart says that I should trust my first impression and just declare it a masterpiece. There are no game rounds in the standard sense. Instead, players will take turns until game end is triggered. During a turn, the active player will choose one personality card from their hand. They’ll take the action(s) as described on the card, then leave the card in front of them.

For each city of the related city type the player receives a certain number of VP as depicted on the specialist's card. If a new house is built in a city where there are already other houses, the cost in coins is multiplied by the number of houses that will be in the city after this build (i.e., to build the fourth house in a city the cost in coins is multiplied by 4). The cost in goods remains the same. Players may not build more than 1 own house in a single city and never in "Roma". PrefectA little tidbit: the basic resources gained from the prefect action are pseudo-randomized, and they’re skewed towards the more valuable resources like cloth. This allows players to get expensive resources early, which not only allows them to invest those resources into getting more of that resource later on in the game, but it provides a bit of a tempo boost to help everyone get their engines going. Without that small bit of influence over the random setup the game would drag a lot in the beginning. I get the feeling I’m going to be saying this a lot in the review, but that’s good game design.
