Concordia
A calm Roman trading game where your hand of cards is also your score sheet.
What it is
You lead a Roman family, sending colonists across the map to build houses, trade goods and buy new cards. There are no dice and very little luck. All the scoring hangs on the cards you collect, so each purchase is a new action and a way to earn points at the end. It suits anyone who wants real depth without a thick rulebook.
What we love
- The rules are simple, and card text is written out in plain English.
- Semi-random city resources and shuffled cards keep each setup fresh.
- Low luck means the better plan usually wins.
Honest trade-offs
- The art is plain, and some reviewers call it boring.
- Nearly all scoring lands at the end, so it can be hard to tell who is ahead.
- The suggested intermediate scoring for new players slows things down and can point to the wrong leader.
