Concordia Venus
2018 · 2-6 Players · ~60-120 min · Competitive
Concordia Venus carries forward everything that made the original Concordia a modern classic and adds a team mode that opens the game to larger groups. The card-driven action system remains one of the most elegant designs in euro gaming, the hidden scoring keeps tension alive until the final count, and the low rules overhead belies impressive strategic depth. The team variant adds clunk without enough payoff for most groups, and extended play can reveal a sameness in game flow. For anyone who wants a medium-weight euro that rewards strategic planning without drowning in rules, Concordia Venus is one of the best in the genre.
