This is your chance to make history:

You begin with a small tribe and the will to build a great civilization. Expand your farms and mines to gain the resources to build your cities. This lays the groundwork for technological advancements, better government, and great wonders. Choose wise leaders whose legacy will lead your people to greatness. Strengthen your army to protect your borders and expand your territory. And shape history with your political skill.

A strong economy, advanced technology, happy citizens, enlightened government, a strong military - your civilization needs to do well in many areas. You may excel in some, but you should not fall behind in others. Adjust your strategy to the opportunities the game offers. You rivals will seek advantage through wars and politics, so keep your defenses up. But don't neglect the finer things in life, because the civilization with the most influential culture wins.

New Version:
The classic civilization-building game is now even better. In addition to outstanding new art, this version includes subtle improvements to the existing mechanics - a fairer, less random military system, streamlined corruption mechanics, and rebalanced cards. These improvements were made with the help of expert players and statistics from thousands of games. Now, we love the game even more. We hope you will too.
