José,

I agree that Concordia is much more than Catan. What I meant is that it deserves to be as popular and successful as Catan due its elegance and the similarities in its core concept of building a network of settlements on a map by acquiring resources.

I haven’t played any Sid Sackson games besides Acquire, which was one I tried a long time ago. Based on their popularity, it seems his games haven’t aged as well as Knizia’s classics. But I’m a fan of Chinatown and Lords of Vegas which were both influenced by Mr. Sackson’s Acquire, so he’s had a great influence on the industry.

Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts!

Anyway I’m also a fan of Knizia’s games, which is the true successor of the great Sid Sackson. I’m amazed that I am not seeing any of his games in this list (like Acquire, , Bazaar or Black Monday). Anyway there are many games in your list that I don’t know and that I am willing to try. Thank you for the post and waiting for the top 25…
