Concordia Salsa Board Game

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

Very interesting new, double-sided board. One of the great things - no cards to sleeve!

Concordia is one of my top 3 favorite games, right next to Castles of Burgundy and Stone Age. The expansion adds salt to the industries that you produce, which acts like a wild card, as well as Forum Cards which add some extra options during your turns. Some of the forum cards are one time use and others help throughout the game. You can also stack them during a turn, if you have met the conditions noted on the bottom of each card. Now that I have tried the two expansions (Salt and Forum Cards), we never play the base game without. They are simple to add and dont overwhelm new players.

Good expansion Adds a lot to the game Highly recommended

Salsa introduces Salt, which is a wild resource, and this small little change provides a lot of unique situations. While it is a powerful resource, and players tend to race to build on these cities. However, its very expensive to build on these cities, and you may find yourself using it on cheaper resource types than you thought, as you had to spend time building there, while the other players were snatching up food and brick resources on the cheap. The expansion also includes a new Forum where you can buy tiles that give you permanent advantages or one time bonuses. This forces players to rethink when they plan to pick up all their cards, as they may try to extend picking up their cards longer than they had intended just so they can pick up the forum tile that has caught their eye. Or, they may pick up their cards earlier to beat another player to the punch, but may cause a different tile to become cheaper in the process! And thats not even mentioning the new maps! Great expansion!

Adds a diversity while conserving the original game balance
