Concordia

Concordia is a great example of a game that makes you think without being merciless to new players. You’re building trade routes, expanding your network, producing goods, and constantly making decisions that involve long-term planning. There’s very little randomness compared to many other board games, which means the game is really about choosing the right timing and accepting the consequences that come with every move.

The digital version is faithful to the tabletop game and benefits from the fact that the app handles all the bookkeeping that can make these kinds of heavier games feel intimidating at first. What you’re left with is a cleaner, more approachable way to experience a genuinely excellent strategy game.

If you’re looking for something more strategy-driven instead of a game filled with action and fights, Concordia is one of the smartest and most rewarding board games you can download.
