Concordia Salsa Board Game

Doesnt make teaching the game any more complex, but adds some good stuff.

Great expansion

Salt is nice, adds a variety to game play. We like the forum cards, it is nice for everyone to have a unique advantage and see how it is used.

Good expansion Adds a lot to the game Highly recommended

An excellent, modular expansion for the base game. Does not require other expansions (which up to now, has consisted of just new map/boards) to play. This expansion includes the following: - Two new maps: Byzantium and Hispania - Wooden pieces for a sixth commodity: salt + city tokens for salt producing cities (Salt acts as a wild resource that may be substituted for any other resource) - 27 Forum Cards (That players may take to give themselves either persistent or one time use powers) Each of these modules may be used by themselves or with each other in any combination to customize your game session the way you prefer. It might not sound like a lot, but for us it added a fair amount of depth and options to the base game. Highly recommended for anyone that enjoyed the base game.

Arrived broken. Will edit later when Ive played it.

Fantastic expansion for a great game. Salsa adds depth and new strategies to the base game. Also, the two maps that come with the expansion a great; I love the quality and diversity of these maps. If you own Concordia, you need this expansion. And if you dont own Concordia then please do yourself a favor and go get it.

Salsa is a brilliant expansion to the solid (if a dry) Euro-game, Concordia! The expansion makes the base game that much better. The addition of salt as a resource (and salt cities) makes the buying and selling of commodities way more interesting and fun. The tiles give players special powers (some one use, others constant) that radically the game for the better! You now have multiple ways to build up your economic engine and can pursue different strategies! Thats a win, win in my book! About the only thing salsa doesnt do is improve the theme of Concordia. Theme is the one thing the base really, really, REALLY needs. Nevertheless, if youre a fan of Concordia, GET THIS expansion!!

This is the second expansion for Concordia. It adds three things to the game. New maps: Double-sided board, one side is the Hispania board featuring the western mediterranean area (spain, france, north africa). It is very tight, featuring even one less province than the Britannia map from the first expansion. The other map is the Byzantium board showing the eastern mediterranean (greece & turkey) which reminds me more of the germania map. Salt! A new commodity, which also acts as a wild card if you can get some. (not easy to produce) The Forum. The game comes with tiles, some that give you a one time bonus gift, others give you a special ability throughout the game. You may collect these tiles when you play the tribune card, getting different tiles depending on how long you wait to play that card. Whats nice about this expansion is that it is backwards compatible. You can add salt or the forum to earlier maps, or just use this map with the base game rules, totally interchangeable. I admit that I am biased towards this game, so if you are also, this is an expansion you must get.

Salsa is an expansion to one of my favorite games - Concordia.
