About the game
Concordia, res parvae crescunt. Discordia, maximae dilabuntur. In Concord, smaller things grow. In Discord, greater things decay. Vera Discordia is a fantasy warfare print&play cardgame for 2 players licensed with a Creative Commons (Attribution-NonCommercial-NonDerivative). It has been published both in Spanish and English. Behind this project there's a team of 7 illustrators, 2 graphic artists, a dozen of playtesters and a designer/coordinator, all working for personal satisfaction. Vera Discordia is not collectible, but modular. Each module brings more armies to play with, for a total of 8 different armies. A multiplayer variant (Epica Discordia) has also been published. Vera Discordia plays on an imaginary board, and its army decks are fixed: there is no deck building, so you'll have to prove your skills in the battlefield. Assign orders to your troops, use Terrain in your favor, Maneuver, Support, close your lines and try to break through enemy lines. Launch direct attacks, arrow salvoes or unexpected flying attacks in order to decimate the opposing forces or capture the enemy General. Vera Discordia takes place in an unique fantasy setting. Take command of the spiritual Nir and their faerical allies, the Gardarek demon-worshipping barbarians, the strict Akeyrith and their celestial cohorts, the unfathomable Shogh made of pure Darkness, the reckless Zleradainn and their bloody rituals, the wild Falkaethe and their birds of prey companions, the ancient empire of Iskelond and their refined tecnoalchemy, or the exotic Drakaethe dragonriders and their skilled assassins. Welcome to the Age of Discord.

The listed playing time for Vera Discordia is 50 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Vera Discordia for ages 16 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.

Vera Discordia has a complexity rating of 2.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
