Setup

Place your starting terrain, choose your civilization cards, and distribute your animal and tribe tokens.

The rules, step by step

Setup
Setup begins by arranging the modular board tiles to form the primordial world, distributing initial species, and setting up the player boards. Each player selects their initial civilization tracks, secret goals, and starting animal tokens, positioning them according to the scenario rules. Dice are rolled and placed in the common pool, ready to be drafted by players during the action phase of each round.
Objective
The main goal of Civolution is to steer the development of your chosen species through the ages, helping them adapt to the environment, invent new technologies, and expand across the land. Players must balance nurturing their creatures with building sophisticated civilizations, ensuring their species survive environmental challenges while outperforming rival factions in various technological and cultural domains.
On your turn
A player turn revolves around drafting dice from the central pool to execute various actions, such as breeding animals, moving tribes, researching inventions, or altering the terrain. The value and color of the drafted die dictate the strength and type of action you can perform. After all players have spent their dice, an environmental phase triggers natural events or disasters that affect all species on the board.
Scoring
Players score points throughout the game at the end of specific eras and during final scoring. Points are awarded for achieving scientific breakthroughs, maintaining thriving populations, dominating territory types, and completing secret and public objectives. Efficiently managing your resources and keeping up with the dynamic environment are crucial to accumulating a winning score.
Game end
The game ends automatically after the completion of the final era, prompting the final scoring phase. Players tally all remaining points from hidden objectives, leftover resources, civilization advancements, and territory control. The player with the highest total score is declared the winner and master of evolution.
Tips
To succeed in Civolution, you must plan your actions around the upcoming environmental shifts rather than just immediate gains. Keep your populations diverse and adaptable, and try not to neglect technology or territory control. Efficiently utilizing high-value dice while mitigating bad rolls is the key to balancing your civilization's growth.
