Thanks to Mark for lending me his copy of the game for this review.

I love this game. It was one of the first games I bought when I began my interest in board gaming as a hobby a year ago. After paying this game, I knew I had picked the right past time. Wonderful.

Another very professional and well executed review. We always value your opinion. Thanks for all your time and effort in putting these videos together.

I'm glad you like this game so much, I respect your opinion! This is one of our favourite games, and we own all expansions as well. It's just so good.

Just recently I got my Concordia collection 100% compeleted as I bought Venus and few missing map packs. It's an amazing game. Very easy to teach, hard to master, scales incredibly well too. It's in my Top 10 too.

Thanks for another great video Paul. I bought the game off the back of this video 😊

Nice review! It's my top 1. Incredible easy to play with a bit of depth. Creta/Aegyptus for me it's the best expansion, with new mechanics on the boards and a nice 2 players map (Creta).

Got to love games with unique scoring mechanisms on top of tight gameplay; allows you to actually focus on the unique tactics & player interaction the scoring mechanism bring, as well as your general strategy. Also, nice shirt!

Great review Paul. I have heard folks talk about what a great game Concordia is for years, but no one in my group has it. I guess I really need to pick it up. I have played and it was OK, but everyone says Concordia is so much better.

There is a new box art version of Salsa also. However I'm not aware that any of the contents have changed. There is also a version of Concordia Venus that is just an expansion to the original version.

There are a couple of small changes between Concordia Venus and regular Concordia — the cards have been slightly tweaked. However both versions of Venus come with the capability of running regular Concordia without those tweaks if you want.

My no1 since I first played it. Such an elegant, yet crunchy gem.

Played this once, thought it was amazingly well done.

You missed the one other bit of on-board interaction: colonists aren't allowed to share the same line. So it can be possible to block (or at least, delay) certain moves, by parking up in inconvenient places.

Love this game! In my top 10 for sure. Thanks for the review

There's actually two versions for Venus: a stand-alone one that costs a lot, and just the expansion Venus if you have the base game.

Hi, Paul, thanks for another great video. I have had this game for a long time in my basket because I like classic solid games. Also not too long or complicated for the sake of making it complicated.
One criticism I read from reviews is that the game is 'solved' after a few games, and player just go for the strategies that work and becomes repetitive. What do you think? thanks

It is NOT a five minute teach, ten at the most!

If it is then please do a five minute teaching video.
