2018 edition with enhanced artwork, a reworked box and a redesigned rules booklet Designed by legendary games inventor Francis Tresham, Civilization is a game of skill and strategy for 2-7 players. In the Ancient Wold of the eastern Mediterranean and the Near East, each player controls a different nation as they seek to become the most powerful and advanced civilisation. Although battles and territorial strategy are important, this is not a war game. The object of the game is to gain a level of overall advancement involving cultural, economic and political factors so that conflicts arise due to rivalry and land shortage rather than a desire to eliminate other players. From the Dawn of History to 250BC, will you lead your people successfully? Players: 2-7 Suggested Ages: 12 and up Language(s): English
