Hall of Fame Series: Concordia

New players welcome; a full rules teach will be provided!

*Kicking off a new Hall of Fame series, featuring notable games recognized by the BoardGameGeek or Dice Tower Hall of Fame. Each event focuses on one game for a session, with multiple plays if the game is short enough. Some sessions may feature multiple short games.*

*As part of an ongoing series, this game will be brought back periodically rather than treated as a one-and-done event.*

About the Game

[Concordia ](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/124361/concordia)*is featured for its combination of hand management, shared economic incentives, and shared map development.*

This 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 that 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:

• They allow a player to choose actions during the game. • They are worth victory points (VPs) at the end of the game.

*Concordia* is a strategy game that requires advanced 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. When all cards have been sold, or after the first player builds their 15th house, the game ends. The player with the most VPs from the gods (Jupiter, Saturnus, Mercurius, Minerva, Vesta, etc.) wins the game.
