Concordia

Product Information

But the game seems to have taken a bit of a dip in fortunes since gaining a head of steam at Essen in October 2013. It’s actually within the scoring of the game where I find what I believe the biggest room for improvement with the app version of Concordia. The digital implementation pops up a helpful summary of the map-specific rule changes when you launch a game on a new map.

The way turns come together when you’ve used your Architect power to line up all of your colonists in the right spot, then you build three or maybe four trading houses on the same turn, and you do it in a way that triggers one of the end game conditions by building your 15th trading house.Similar to Power Grid, you can build where someone else has built, but it becomes more expensive as more people build there. It plays brilliantly with all numbers due to the two sides to the board due to the two different sized boards (smaller board for fewer players).
