Two thousand years ago, the Roman Empire ruled the lands around the Mediterranean Sea. With peace at the borders, harmony inside the provinces, uniform law, and a common currency, the economy thrived and gave rise to mighty Roman dynasties as they expanded throughout the numerous cities. Guide one of these dynasties and send colonists to the remote realms of the Empire; develop your trade network; and appease the ancient gods for their favor — all to gain the chance to emerge victorious!
Concordia is a peaceful strategy game of economic development in Roman times for 2-5 players aged 13 and up. Instead of looking to the luck of dice or cards, players must rely on their strategic abilities. Be sure to watch your rivals to determine which goals they are pursuing and where you can outpace them! In the game, colonists are sent out from Rome to settle down in cities which produce bricks, food, tools, wine, and cloth. Each player starts with an identical set of playing cards and acquires more cards during the game. These cards serve two purposes:
Concordia is a strategy game which requires advance planning and consideration of your opponent's moves. Every game is different, not only because of the sequence of new cards on sale but also due to the modular layout of cities. (One side of the game board shows the entire Roman Empire with 30 cities for 3-5 players, while the other shows Roman Italy with 25 cities for 2-4 players.) When all cards have been sold, the game ends. The player with the most VPs from the gods (Jupiter, Saturnus, Mercurius, Minerva, Vulcanus, etc.) wins the game.
Concordia (Rio Grande Games Edition)
best economic game for starters
Its a great strategic game with a lot of expansions. It makes my top five because its easy to get to the table, the rules are quite simple, within five minutes you can do a really comprehensive review of the rules and gameplay options. I have heard people complain about the way the scoring is done at the end of the game, you don’t know who is winning and it takes a long time to tabulate the scores. I find that element adds to the game as you don’t have everybody sitting there looking over seeing who has what leading to severe cases of analysis paralysis as the game ends. Tabulating the scores also doesn’t take that long, some people make out it took them an hour to find out who won after the gameplay ended. One thing that I did was get the pimped out resource tokens for the game, it just makes it look better and touching them just seems to make the game seem even more grand.
One of our favourite games. It's very easy to pick back up and remember how to play, as the cards in your hand are your potential actions. Very smooth gameplay and great with a wide number of players.
This game can be a big math crunch especially late game, but its clever design and positive player interaction make math fun!

I use it for Century Spice Road, the character cards of LOTR - Journeys, and for the planet cards for Astro Knights. No cards have autocombusted so far... fingers crossed!
