I got the digital version on the Nintendo Switch cuz of your review, and this is SUCH a well-designed game! You’re 100% on the money again, thank you!

Concordia plays brilliantly with 3, as is the case with so many Euros. It’s actually my favorite player count. This game is so good, I’ll play it until the day I die. Thanks as always for the vid!

Thanks for reviewing Concordia. I've had my eye on getting this one for years and your review was very helpful.

I didn't know Jason Stratham reviewed board games! Kidding aside, great review - thank you!

So love Concordia. I keep looking at the Salsa expansion. Perhaps I'll pick it up. Thanks.

Great video bro(or bruv)! Extremely relevant for me as I have been debating on getting this game here in 2020. My old lady wants to play good old Catan and use it to introduce new players, but we've been gaming for about 8 years and haven't played Catan since maybe 2015. I've been looking for something to scratch that itch but maybe has more depth and have been considering Concordia. We love deckbuilding as a mechanic so this seems perfect. I was concerned though, because the game is 5-6 years old that it wouldn't be enough, the reviews are old and hundreds of euros have come out since. Your video answers my questions and I've decided to pick it up. My question for you - I can get the base game for $48 US on Amazon, or a version that combines the base game plus Venus for $62 US. Which do you recommend. If I get just the base game I can maybe swing Salsa, but if I get the Venus combo no way. I'm leaning Venus because it's one box and allows for 6 players straight away. What do you think?

Great review as always of a great game.

One of the best reviewers on KZfaq. Makes a change from the normal snowflake reviewers in our hobby. Well done GEEZA!!

I don't understand the map/player count con. It doesn't seem like you've done the math. Corsica is great for two players, Italy is great for 3 and the base map is great for 4-5. Just use whatever best suits your player count.

“It doesn’t really work at two players”...? Really? I strongly disagree with this. It’s an excellent 2 and 3 player game. You just pick the appropriate map. Balearics, Corsica, Crete, Egypt are all really excellent at 2p. Concordia is impressive in that not only can you choose a map that scales to the player count, but you can also scale the map to the play style of game if you want as well. You can play a 5 player game on the smallest maps if you want an extremely tight, expensive, in your face game, or play 2 player on the largest maps if you fancy a really open game where you barely get in each other’s way at all. Concordia works beautifully at all player counts.

I noticed that your card is a bit too large for the plastic sleeve. Do you often have this problem?

Second video I've watched. You've outed yourself, mate. Tough guys don't use card protectors. I knew you were a softie. :) Love Concordia, but we always play 2 player, using the smaller maps like Creta. It's wonderful at 2, to us.

Thanks, which expansions do you own for it? I picked up Salsa and Aegyptus / Creta :) Not fussed about Venus, as my group hate team games; I heard the one with the fish market - Cyprus is cool too.

I'm curious to buy this but mostly play 2 player. How is it at 2 player?

Colonists don't move onto cities. They move along (and stay on) routes. Once a colonist moves, it should always be on a route adjacent to two cities (not on a city).

How have I not seen this channel before? I have Concordia, but because of that b#ll*cks COVID I haven’t played it yet! I have heard from many sources that it’s pie hot. It’s just released on Steam and on iOS, and I suspect it’s also on Android! So I’m going to be playing this game for the first time this week :D

I think Concordia can be as open or as close as you want and can be goot with two players. I play with my wife with Italy map of the base game (we don't have any expansions) and sure, you can all do stuff in your own half of the map, but it could as effective and as fun to purposefuly try to build in provinces where you opponent has built his stuff. Overall, I think Concordia plays just as well as any other euro I played: The Voyages of Marco Polo, Viticulture or Terraforming Mars. But I still wouldn't recommend Concordia, after a little more than 10 games it became quite stale and boring. You just do the same stuff every game, the strategy never changes from game to game. Overall, I don't get the praise of Concordia. Yeah, it's an elegant game which manages to feel quite "weighty" with a very simple rules, but I think it's just not that fun to play, right now I would certainly prefer almost any other euro-game I have to play.

i need to give this a try

So let me understand your complaints a bit. a) The scoring is hard to understand, even though it's very plainly explained on player aids (literally 5 sources of points based on actions you've been doing all game). To be honest, if anyone has a hard time grasping it they probably should start with less complex games like Stone Age or Catan. b) Not all the maps work for all player counts. Well... you could just use a different map, based on how many people are at the table at any given time. One could argue that's the purpose of having all those different maps to begin with, but maybe that's just me.

I would say that the more depressing issue with two players is that it takes away the power of the Diplomat, since it only has one option on each turn.

11:00 I sold everything concordia, because you need friends who want to play it as well, and everyone was like meh, and for solo it's too much work wrt other solos. When I look at the product i don't "feel" anything. And the extra maps are just, maps. No box or anything. Great for cons. Not for homes.

Here's the guy who didn't agree with you on Raiders of the North Sea. We agree on Concordia. My favourite game of all time. Have everything for it, with custom box to fit it all in. Amazing. You're still wrong on Raiders 😁😁😁

U have sOooooooopo many games!!!!

Not sure what audience you're going for with such a channel name. Won't include me though.
