Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Actually one of the best quick strategy games out there. I love it more every time I play it
Um Civ, para jogar em 15 minutos. Quando o tempo aperta e a sede de um estratega, desperta!
Quick, simple rules with strategy that works for a quick bit of fun when you have a few minutes. Very addictive.

very simple game but wow a really fun 8 minute romp area control romp. balancing the set collection next to the area control and just being able to crank out games when you need time to kill is great. I play it on the steam deck when I just need to pass the time. Set expectations. haha this is far from a large epic twighlight imperium experience. but for what it is. oddly addicting. I'd kill for the Legends version of this game to get a digital treatment
不针对游戏,贵公司的游戏我还是非常喜欢得。针对对于CONCORDIA得定价,我搞不懂为什么国区定价会高于美区定价,V社建议定价是76,然后你们得定价是150?我觉得大批量得调整所谓低价区得定价本身也是一种歧视,在这种歧视面前我很难给出好评。 Not specifically for games, I still really like your company's games. Regarding the pricing of CONCORDIA, I don't understand why the pricing in China is higher than that in the United States. Valve suggests price is 76, and then you have a pricing of 150? I think adjusting the pricing of so-called low price zones in large quantities is also a form of discrimination, and I find it difficult to give positive feedback in the face of such discrimination.
非常推薦的一款殺時間遊戲
I believe that most of the negative reviews of this game are totally unjustified. It is a brilliantly enjoyable board game. Simple, straightforward, albeit at times perhaps a little bit too short (an option to play an extra two rounds could be advantageous). We are never able to actually play a game in 8 minutes, but you could easily play a series of 3 games within two hours, even with the most arduous group of friends. Heck, it might actually be feasible in half an hour, if your friends could just stop overthinking everything. The criticism on the price is outright ridiculous, since the whole thing can regularly be bought for about €7, including all available extensions. These provide new boards and a few refreshing additional mechanisms. Every single one of them a welcome addition to the base game. However, there is one extremely severe problem with the game that does actually warrant a negative review: serious synchronization issues that obliterate the point of some of the core mechanisms. At the start of the game, players bid on who can choose who starts the game, but because of these synchronization issues, that decision frequently has to be made on the premise that all random factors in the game might still change after having made that bid. Those random factors include the location of mountains on the map, location or type of resources on the map, and the cards available to buy at the start of the game). If it wasn't for this serious flaw in the implementation, Eight-Minute Empire would be one of the best board games on Steam. This is proven by the fact that we still play it a lot, despite these problems. However, I cannot in good faith recommend a game that is essentially broken.
"Uhm ACKTUALLY it only tooke me 7 minutes to play my first game!" Alright so this is a digital boardgame akin to your standard fair euro-games but stripped down for fast play. Each card has a resource and an action - collect matching sets of resources for points, use actions to create and move troops around to control regions and continents for more points. Most points at the end of [13 in my game] turns and it's over. Cards are drawn into a communal pool where older cards are cheaper to buy and use on your turn.
Online games keep disconnecting, and once you reconnect, cards are completely changed. I played a card with iron on it, then it disconnected, and when I reconnected, I had played a card with a carrot. Completely messes up your game if you're playing a strategic game. Cannot recommend in this state
说实话没有什么好玩的,主要是游戏内容太少,一局还没开始就结束了,结束的也莫名其妙的,匹配的人也不动,很搞心态,本来玩这个游戏的人也不多,如果是好友一起的话可以推荐玩玩,但不推荐个人玩家!
