Salsa proved to be an awesome expansion! Okay, the cover is probably the ugliest among our 300 or so games. The new wild good, salt, is a fine addition but surprisingly the new forum tiles were awesome. They offer a lot of new individual strategies.

I have only played each map 1-3 times, and I haven’t found them to be as different as in Power Grid. In PG the amounts of certain fuels in different maps made a real difference. In Concordia I don’t feel such an impact. It’s mostly about fitting the map to the number of players and giving a bit of variability.

This saddens me, Bubba.

But I have so many vacations coming up. I very much doubt I’ll see you until PAX unfortunately.

Yes! And do it sooner rather than later. I’m down to play Concordia 100% of the time for the near future.

Awesome. Let me know what you think of Salsa. I’m super curious about expansions for this already. Do the map expansions change the rules at all (like some of the maps for Power Grid)?
