Civilization is a game of skill and strategy.
In the Ancient World of 8000BC, each player controls a different nation. 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.
Originally published in 1980, Civilization is a board game that pits players against each other in their quest to lead a nation to the pinnacle of development.
For 2-7 players
