Concordia

Card-as-action engine, Roman trade routes

BGG: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/124361

Concordia is a medium game (weight 5/10). Despite the modest rules footprint, the decision space is deep (8/10) — the kind of game that rewards a dozen plays. Decisions come at a steady pace (6/10) — engaged without being exhausting. There's meaningful but indirect interaction (interaction 6/10) — shared resources, catch-up effects, or watch-and-react moments. Direct attacks are minimal (2/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression.
