However, the rest of the interface is very good. I was actually wondering how I would see my resources and then I noticed half of a wheat bushel at the bottom. If you choose Windowed, depending on your resolution I guess, your resources at the bottom of the screen are cut off.

You have two options: Windowed mode or Full Screen. The UI in the app is pretty good, though on Steam (the version I have), you have to be careful. I think it works best with at most 4 players. The game plays up to 6 players, though I can’t imagine that (even more so I can’t imagine 5 AIs in the game). I’ve heard that the Medium & Hard can be more of a challenge, though. I’ve only played the Easy one and it’s pretty easy. Good on Acram for providing both options. Some purists who love the boardgame and the fact that there’s no way you can tell how you are doing would prefer that they be off. I guess I should start talking about the app now, eh?įirst, as I said, you can turn the VP counter off or on when you set up a game. It’s my least favourite part of the board game, trying to figure all of that out. Scoring is kind of complicated, as it’s based on the types of cards you have and how they interact with your position on the board.
Play continues until either a player has placed their last trading post or the last card has been purchased. As you do so, the Prefect card becomes more powerful because for every city you have a post in where the Prefect is played, you get that city’s resource along with anything else you might get. Slowly but surely, you will be spreading your empire. Prefect lets you get resources based on the region (or perhaps money if you’d rather have that than resources).įinally, Tribune lets you collect all of the cards you have played and possibly get money depending on how many cards you’ve played before your last Tribune. The Diplomat lets you copy the top card of another player’s discard pile (i.e. You can use the Mercator card to sell one type of good (as many as you have) and buy one type of good (as many as you want and can afford). Connected cities can be colonized if you have the right resources/money. The blue lines are the paths that your colonists can be on. Then, if you have the proper resources and enough money, you can place a trading post in one (or both) of the cities that your colonists are connected to. Otherwise, using the Architect card, you can move colonists as many spaces as you have colonists (so the more colonists you have, the more they can move around). Using the “Senator” card, you can buy one or two of the cards that are on offer, as long as you have the required resources. Otherwise, it’s all “what the hell am I doing and why am I fucking this up?” all through the game.Įverybody starts with two colonists (a ship and a person) in Rome (or wherever the start is on the particular map you’re playing). There is no luck in the game other than the order that the cards that you can buy come out. Their colonists can travel over land or sea (depending on whether it’s a “person” or a “ship.”) The game itself is pretty fun, though it’s not my favourite (it’s probably up in my Top 100 out of 400+ games, though).Ĭoncordia is a game where players are trying to establish trading posts in multiple cities around the Mediterranean and Europe. The app version, however, comes out Tuesday, September 28 and is published by Acram Digital.Īcram has done the brilliant Istanbul (though it needs the expansions!), the interesting 8 Minute Empire and a great rendition of Steam (not my cup of tea, but the app is great!)
The boardgame version of Concordia, designed by Gerdts with artwork by Marina Fahrenbach, Mac Gerdts and Dominik Mayer, came out in 2013.

“Trading in the Mediterranean” has become a bit of a cliche.īut look at designer Mac Gerdts breaking that cliche and making it interesting again!
