Played Concordia three times. Everyone told me it was incredible. Top 20 on BGG.
You know what it felt like? Buying stuff and moving stuff on a map with a beige color palette. Where’s the tension? Where’s the drama?
Give me actual conflict over “I’ll produce in these two cities” any day. A game shouldn’t need 5 plays before it gets interesting.
This is genuinely the worst take I've ever seen on this forum.
Concordia's genius is in its restraint. Every card play is meaningful. There's no luck, no randomness, just pure strategy. The scoring being hidden in the cards you buy IS the game. Some people need miniatures and dice to feel excitement. Some of us get it from efficiency.
I thought this too after my first play. Played it 5 more times and now it's in my top 10.
Tell me you just played your first game with someone who didn't teach it well.
Lmao I knew this would get people heated. I've played it three times! It's fine! I just don't understand the cult around it.
Some games reward patience and repeated plays. Concordia is one of those. But also not every game is for everyone.
