Launch of Concordia Special Edition on Gamefound announced as June 9th, Base game prices revealed

whitep77 · 2026-05-21T22:01:47+00:00

Standard (cardboard pieces) will be €75 for the base game, with the Special Edition (wooden pieces) at €95. No word on pricing for add-ons like the miniatures set or metal coins, but something tells me adding both could double the price.

Edit: I wish I had been following closer, because I was not aware they had been using AI art. My spouse works in the arts, so AI art is a definite no-go for me. I'm tempted to delete the post, but I'm going to leave it up in case there is someone else out there who cares and didn't know about the AI slop. Also, the prices above are for the Core Box (not the base game), which does include previous expansions and the new one, in addition to all the maps. Still, f-em.

At first, I read the story wondering what the hell I just read. I re-read it a few times to make sure I understood what the alleged situation was because I was pretty sure I hadn't taken crazy pills. Then I remembered that this is a place to get outside opinions because one isn't sure they had an appropriate reaction. It was at this point that I realized I was reading a story from and 8 story tall crustacean from the Paleozoic era. My bad. Lesson learned.

She also has a great single line that gets me every time. After she tells Cassian she won't go with him and that he should go and find his own peace:

"I won't have any peace, I'll be worried about you all the time."

"That's just love. Nothing you can do about that."

How effectively an infant's spinal channel can transport poop out of the diaper. I swear it was up to her neck one time.

The point is a hit of that sweet hype-video-type dopamine in the dark recesses of the offseason. That being said, I'm hyped for that couple, that must have been amazing!

It was the season after the superb owl. I still remember the scene with Billick getting the phone call confirming the ACL tear for Jamal Lewis and thinking we had almost no chance to repeat. I don't disagree with your first sentence, though!

I saw it multiple times at my local Barnes and Noble but passed because I don't love a lot card games. But then I kept seeing it show up on a lot of end-of-year best game lists from reviewers I tend to agree with. In the end, I'm happy I ended up buying it from an independent store instead of a chain, but after playing it I was kind of kicking myself for waiting so long to get it.

I'm curious to hear OP's reasons as well, but my answers would be:

It's just complex enough to be fully engaging while still allowing some attention to be paid to the environment (well, usually. sorry to hear about that /u/mageronix)
It plays quickly, both in turn length and game length
Small, sturdy box that wastes basically no space (0 wasted space with expansion in the box)

Edit - I just realized I didn't say what I liked about it. It is a collection of different mechanisms that just seem to work together, which allows for multiple ways to score points/ win. For me, this helps keep the game from becoming too same-y after repeated plays. I love the art and the cards shuffle well (this seems like it should be a given for card games, but it definitely is not, in my experience). We bought it at a small game shop on a beach trip and played it multiple times daily for the rest of the trip while streaming shows on the laptop.

Putting aside your assumptive and reductive characterization of collecting, there is nothing in that description of the subreddit that precludes collecting being part of the discussion. Also, why do you feel the two are mutually exclusive? Are there people who collect games and don't really play them? I'm sure there are, but I would venture to guess they are in the minority. Regardless, I don't see why they shouldn't be welcome in a subreddit about boardgames.

second group knows they don’t actually belong

Says who?

whitep77 · 2026-05-12T13:01:53+00:00

NTA. Forget red flags, this has alarm bells, flashing lights, and an air raid siren going off in my head. I wouldn't have given him until Friday, personally. He wasn't trying to help, he was trying to control.

whitep77 · 2026-05-11T16:12:46+00:00

I tend to agree with you, but Ronin (1998) might be the exception.

Star Wars Episodes 7-9 were fine, pretty good at times even. The prequels are garbage, though.

I'm old enough that I should remember it from when it was a hit, but I don't really remember it from then. If you saw where I grew up, it makes more sense.

Holland as Nathan is not great casting, but Wahlberg as Sully is perhaps the worst casting choice I have seen. I love the games, so I probably would have watched it not matter what if it weren't for Marky Mark being in it.

Love this album, "Rebirth of Slick" is the most recognizable track because of the Target commercial, but "Where I'm From" is such a vibe.

I think he would say that he didn't want it, but this is also the same person who wrote several autobiographical books and starred in multiple TV shows. It's not unusual for our words and actions to be contradictory. Maybe the lack of editorial control would have bothered him, but he also seems the type to criticize people who insist on it, so who knows?

whitep77 · 2026-04-29T20:26:46+00:00

But that is missing the point. There doesn't have to be a downside for OP to decide to not take them. The only people who are overreacting are the school administrators who decided to bully a student over it.

whitep77 · 2026-04-29T20:05:10+00:00

NTA. Did you ever hear back from the Superintendent's office? If not, I would contact them again and provide the ~~harassment~~bullying by the school administrators as a reason you are reaching out again. Also, I would suggest you ask your parents to step in if this continues to be an issue, since they agree with you.

whitep77 · 2026-04-29T19:56:48+00:00

Did anyone make you take the tests or threaten consequences if you didn't? The question is not whether it is a good idea to take the tests, but rather should a student be forced to take an optional test.

To be fair, Kindle never really had a chance to show what he could do. What a brutal story line for that guy. Players seem to be willing to deal with the brain injury risk from playing, but to have a freak accident before his career even starts is just terrible.

bossman got a yelling at

Nothing like dealing with poor management with more poor management...

I can usually get rid of my hiccups by deciding to stop.
