Sid Meier's Civilization: The Card Game (2006)

About this game

Civilization: The Card Game simulates the rise of empires as in the computer game Civilization. Players will collect resources, obtain lands, construct Buildings and Wonders, discover Technologies, and fight enemies on their way to victory. The game ends when the final Technology is bought, and the player with the most Victory Points (one each per Wonder, Technology, and Population) is declared the Winner. If Victory Points are tied, then the Winner is the player with the most Technologies. If Technologies are tied, then the Winner is the player with the most Population.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
