Two thousand years ago, the Roman Empire ruled the lands around theMediterranean Sea. With peace at the borders, harmony inside the provinces,uniform law, and a common currency, the economy thrived and gave rise to mightyRoman dynasties as they expanded throughout the numerous cities. Guide one ofthese dynasties and send colonists to the remote realms of the Empire; developyour trade network; and appease the ancient gods for their favour – all togain the chance to emerge victoriously!

Concordia is a peaceful strategy game of economic development in Roman timesfor 2–5 players aged 13 and up.
