Civilization

Civilization is designed for 3 to 7 players, taking place around 4000 BC across the Mediterranean region. Players select their civilization, take their corresponding tokens and markers, and set up their initial population units and cities in designated areas on the game board.

The ultimate objective of the game is to lead your civilization through millennia of history, overcoming perils such as famine, war, and epidemics while developing advanced technologies to surpass all rival empires and become the greatest civilization in antiquity.

Each turn follows a strict sequence of play: players first collect taxation and may suffer revolts if they cannot pay, then expand population, conduct censuses, move units across land and sea, resolve conflicts, build cities, collect trade cards based on city control, and finally spend trade goods to purchase technology cards.

Scoring in Civilization is tied directly to technological progress and survival. Purchasing advanced technology cards moves your scoring marker along the archaeological succession table, reflecting your civilization's cultural and scientific milestones.

The game concludes when a player's scoring marker reaches the final space on the archaeological succession track. If multiple players finish on the same turn, the player with the most accumulated points wins the game.
