Concordia Venus

From Rome to hellas and Cyprus

Concordia Venus is available in two versions – on the one hand, as an expansion for Concordia, featuring the maps for Ionium/Hellas; you need the basic game to play and the expansions comes with the new components only. The other version is a complete, stand-alone game, featuring maps for Hellas, Imperium und Cyprus and all the necessary components. Both versions can be played by 2 to 5 individual players or by four or six players in teams of two players,.

You play one of your character card; the Tribune, for instance, allows you to take back all your cards in hand; in team play, your partner then also resolves the action of the card you played. This forces you to consider your partner’s options. Partners may hand over money between them and there is, for instance, a double card Architect/Mercator – if, for instance, your partner cannot make use of the Architect move, he can use the Mercator action instead. With another card you can ask you partner to play a certain card – the active player takes the cards of this partner and suggests a card to him for playing by putting it on top of the stack; the partner than can play the card but need not do so.  If someone bought the last character on display or has built all 15 houses, you score all gods on your own character cards at the end of the round. Venus as goddess provides one victory point for each province in which both partners are present with at least one house.

The changes seem to be only a few, but they result in a substantially different game due to the consideration of partners and possibilities from playing order between partners.
