Description Edit | History

Finally, a boardgame version of this award-winning PC strategy game. Create a civilization to stand the test of time! The game begins in 4000 BC where the players found a pair of villages of a fledgling people.

Each player’s civilization :

  • Explores the world around them, discovering resources and the native people that defend them.
  • Expands by sending settlers out to create new cities.
  • Researches new technologies to gain advantages over the other players.
  • Builds unique “Wonders of the World”.
  • Increases the size of their cities (4 sizes from village to metropolis) to increase production.
  • Builds military units to defend what’s theirs, and to conquer what’s not.

Features:

  • 2 sets of rules (standard, and advanced) allow anyone to play the game.
  • Hundreds of professionally sculpted plastic playing pieces that represent cities, settlers, armies, navies, artillery, and air units from 4 different eras.
  • Over 100 full color Technology and Wonder cards.
  • A giant 46” x 36” gameboard featuring the artwork of Paul Niemeyer.

This game has been reimplemented in 2007 as Civilization CHR ("open source" project)
