PLAYED FOR YOU

Civilization Das Brettspiel

Ruhm und Reichtum Erweiterung

Using diplomacy, war, economy and technology players lead their civilizations through the millennia from ancient times into the space age. You start with a small city without any inventions; build, expand, absorb smaller nations around you and finally have to face conflicts with other big developing civilizations. You can either achieve a cultural or technological or economic or military victory.

A round of the game consists of five phases – Start of the round, Trade, City Management, Movement and Research. Each phase is completed by all players in turn. The expansions features, first of all, the necessary components for a fifth player plus rules and components for upgrading capital cities to metropolises, powerful historical personalities as Great People as well as investment cards and investment markers.

In general, the rules of the expansion supersede those of the core game. You use investment cards to acquire permanent advantages, investment markers to not count for coin markers in an economic victory and cannot be stolen and deposited by other players. New are Relics and building of Temporary Defenses. The upgrading of a city to a metropolis is possible due to the new technology of Agriculture; the advantages are expanded outskirts, 2 culture points for Art and a combat bonus of +2 for defense; a metropolis can partly expand into water, not counting for water in movement and can thus be used as a makeshift bridge.

A densely packed and superb expansion for a fantastic game, especially riveting due to the historic personalities, ranging from Nicola Tesla and Adam Smith to Marco Polo and Frieda Kahlo.
