About the game

What you do in a play session

Concordia: Solitaria is the expansion you've been waiting for to dive into the world of Concordia even when there isn't a full table! Created by Mac Gerdts and Frank Lamprecht, this ingenious addition transforms your favorite game into a solo or two-player experience, retaining all the strategic essence we already know and love. Get ready to face the cunning Contrarius, an automated opponent that promises to challenge your planning skills to the max. The clever twist is that the cards you play also dictate your adversary's reactions, so every move you make needs to be meticulously thought out to secure victory. If you're playing as a duo, you can choose between cooperating with your partner to defeat Contrarius together, or each of you can challenge it individually, adding an extra layer of strategy and competition. Best of all, Solitaria is super versatile: you can use it with any Concordia map and combine it with other expansions, ensuring almost infinite replayability. To play, you only need the Concordia base game or Concordia Venus. The box is packed with 72 cards, 4 dice, and a clear rulebook to guide you. And for those who enjoy a growing challenge, there are three difficulty levels – standard, veteran, and expert – for you to test your limits and become a true Roman master merchant!
