Concordia Balearica / Cyprus

Concordia: Balearica showcases the beautiful Balearic Islands including Majorca (formerly Maiorica), Minorca (formerly Minorica), Ibiza (formerly Ebusus), and Formentera (formerly Frumentaria). Each player begins with two ships already sailing at sea, and there's no capital - city starting point. Land colonists are constructed later in the game and can move between the islands. This game comes with an exciting addition: a fishmarket. The fishmarket isn't just for the new Balearica map; it can be used as a variant with the base game or any other Concordia map. Fish is a new commodity. Instead of the regular bonus units when playing your Prefect, you get fish. In provinces that didn't produce in the last round, the fish bonus doubles up to 2. You can sell your fish at the fishmarket to get goods, cash, or special actions. It adds an extra level of strategic planning for experienced Concordia players. On the other side of the board, there's the Cyprus map, perfect for those who missed it when buying Concordia: Venus (expansion).

How to play: At the start, each player gets two ships already at sea. There's no need to start from a capital city. Build your land colonists as the game progresses and move them between the islands. When it's your turn as the Prefect, collect fish instead of the usual bonus units. If a province didn't produce in the last round, you'll get double fish as a bonus. Then, head to the fishmarket to trade your fish for goods, cash, or special actions. Notice: The fishmarket can be used not only with the Balearica map but also as a variant with the base game or other Concordia maps. Maintenance: Keep the game board and pieces in a dry place. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading. When not in use, store the game in its box to keep all parts organized.
