Concordia

Concordia is a strategic economic board game for 2–5 players, set in the Roman Empire. Players expand their trade networks, manage resources, and build settlements to earn victory points through a unique deck-building mechanism. With minimal luck and high replayability, Concordia offers a deep and rewarding experience for strategy enthusiasts.

Forge Your Legacy in the Roman Empire

Step into the sandals of a Roman dynasty leader, navigating the vast expanse of the empire to establish trade routes, build cities, and appease the ancient gods. In Concordia, your strategic decisions will shape your family's legacy, as you compete for dominance in a world where careful planning and resource management are key to success.

How the Game Works

Concordia combines hand management and strategic planning in a seamless gameplay experience. Each turn, players play a card from their hand to perform actions such as:

• Architect: Move colonists and build houses in new cities.
• Prefect: Produce goods in provinces or collect bonuses.
• Mercator: Trade goods and earn coins.
• Colonist: Recruit new colonists or earn income.
• Senator: Acquire new personality cards to expand your action options and scoring potential.

As the game progresses, players build a deck of personality cards that not only provide actions but also determine end-game scoring, encouraging strategic card acquisition and timing.
