Where it came from
Concordia was published in 2013 by Cranio Creations and designed by Mac Gerdts, a German game designer known for his signature rondel mechanism. Gerdts aimed to create a Eurogame that emphasized strategic resource management and expansion within the Roman Empire, moving away from direct conflict in favor of a more efficient, engine-building experience. The game is set during the Pax Romana, tasking players with expanding a trading dynasty across the Mediterranean through the strategic deployment of colonists and the construction of production houses.
The game's design is noted for its clean, elegant mechanics, specifically the card-driven action system that eliminates the need for dice or complex turn sequences. The artwork and cartography were designed to evoke a classical, scholarly aesthetic that complements its historical theme. Since its release, Concordia has been widely praised by critics and hobbyists alike for its high level of accessibility combined with deep, emergent strategy, eventually becoming a staple of modern tabletop gaming collections worldwide.
