About the game
Hey gamers! Ready to expand your empire in Concordia? This gem, Gallia / Corsica, brings two brand-new maps to spice up your game nights. In Gallia, things start a bit tighter: you only have one land colonist at the beginning and need to find a way to reach a harbor city before you can deploy your sea colonist. It's a different way to kick off your expansion and think about logistics.

Now, Corsica presents a different challenge: it's the smallest map ever created for Concordia, featuring just twenty cities spread across eight provinces. This means the game becomes denser, with more competition for space and resources. It's perfect for those who enjoy a more intense and strategic showdown, especially if you play with fewer people, as Corsica truly shines with 2 or 3 players. Both maps work for any player count, of course, but the feel changes significantly depending on your choice. If you've already mastered the base Concordia and want more variety for your sessions, this expansion is a treat for anyone seeking new scenarios and challenges without straying from the core gameplay we love.
