Concordia Salsa Board Game

Sgood

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.

Terrific.

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!!

If youre lukewarm on Concordia, know that Salsa is one of the rare expansions that doesnt just add more variety to the base game; it actually improves the experience of playing. I can take or leave the new maps, but the Salt resource and the Forum tiles are easy to incorporate and feel like they should belong to the game every time you play on any map. Salt is a wild resource. You can use it in place of anything, but you cant sell it, and it can be tough to acquire if you cant produce it yourself. Forum tiles can be acquired when you play your Tribune. Playing a lot of cards prior to the Tribune gives you a greater choice in the benefit you gain. Some are instant, and some are permanent. All offer something good that can potentially chain together for great effect, and also offer something unique to players in a game in which everyone starts with identical cards and resources.

Adds a great new commodity and board to an already great game!

Good expansion Adds a lot to the game Highly recommended

Everything as should be. No fuss no muss. Very smooth A - O.K. Very pleased

This expansion includes two new mechanics. The first is salt which acts as a wildcard. Very cool! The second element is the forum cards which give you special abilities. The player has a choice in which forum cards they take and having these cards leads the player to tweak their strategies as they build their resource engine. This expansion also comes with a new two sided board, which is also a great addition to your Concordia collection.

Adds nice variation to base game. If you are looking for an expansion, start here.
