Concordia Deluxe + Venus Expansion

Concordia Venus is a standalone reimplementation of Concordia with some added features.

Concordia Venus is a peaceful strategy game of economic development in Roman times for 2-6 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 advance 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 on the 4 different maps included with the game. When all cards have been sold from the market or after the first player builds his 15th house; the game ends. The player with the most VPs from the gods (Jupiter; Saturnus; Mercurius; Minerva; Vesta; Venus; etc.) wins the game.

Teams of two players each may play against each other.
New personality cards with the goddess Venus allow for new strategies.
New maps (Cyprus; Hellas; Ionium) on which to play in addition to the classic Imperium map.
Note: This entry is for the standalone game Concordia Venus. This is different from Concordia: Venus (Expansion); which requires Concordia to play.
