PLAYED FOR YOU

Civilization Das Brettspiel

WEISHEIT und KRIEGSKUNST 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 and no inventions; build, expand, absorb smaller nations around you and finally have to face conflicts with other developing civilizations. You can achieve either 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 expansion introduced six new civilizations - Aztecs, England, France, Japan, Mongolia and Zulu - including their own home boards, supplemented by six new neutral boards, some of which are marked with relics. While relic markers are still in place you can neither build nor change the square by cultural events, technology or other effects. There are special rules for entering relic squares and also for their adjacent squares. Political possibilities now include social politics cards for long-term strategies. There are also new technology and cultural event cards, wonders, huts and markers for barbarian villages as well as markers for city states. Shipyard as a new building comes with a board for the market plan with room for shipyards. New unit cards replace those from the core game, they feature four different edges for different unit ranks. The race for space is now an achievable target for all civilizations.

A cornucopia of new components and possibilities, the new detailed rules provide options without end and the new civilizations promise challenging new interactions.
