Designed by Kevin Wilson, Civilization: The Board Game is inspired by the legendary video game series created by Sid Meier. Players are tasked with guiding an entire civilization throughout the ages, taking ownership of your people’s technology, economy, culture, and military, as well as all the choices that go along with them. There are four different paths to victory, and each is riddled with opposition.
In Civilization: The Board Game, 2-4 players take on the roles of famous leaders in charge of historical civilizations, each with their own abilities. Players will be able to explore a module game board, build cities and buildings, fight battles, research powerful technology, and attract great people by advancing their culture. No matter what your play style is, there is a civilization for you!

Good game if you love console Civ (Civ Rev) or computer Civ With this board game, you get a very good board game approximation of the Civilization games on the computer and console (Civ Rev on the consoles). If you do not already know what the Civ games are, then you should consider whether you want to invest the time learning and playing the game. If you are an old-school Risk or Axis and Allies player, then you might have what it takes. (Risk is simplistic compared to this.) I have played several games and have taught several players. Many players into lighter board games have not liked it because it is too long (or too “heavy”). I recommend that new players play through until the whole map is displayed, then consider whether they want to re-start (with a new random map). Getting that far will take at least 4 hours if it is their first time to play, especially if you are reading the rules for the first time. Add in another hour if you haven’t opened the box and punched out all the pieces. The best reason to approach the game in this…
A time-consuming but great board game Civilization is not for lazy readers who refuse to invest a few hours in learning how to play a new game.That said, this is an awesome experience. Already my roommates and other friends have played several games, and now that many of us know the rules thoroughly each game will take less and less time to complete.Yes, the rule book is sometimes ambiguous, yes it takes nearly a half hour to set up, and yes the games can take up a lot of daylight. Our first 4-player game took about 7 hours, but it was intense and exciting and ultimately we friends had an excellent time in each other’s company. Having learned how to play and gotten used to the pace, we’ve completed more recent games in as little as 3 hours.The depth that was put into this game is incredible; for every action there is a proportional counter-move. Think chess and Risk combined, but far more complicated. You can really tell that the makers spent countless hours testing and retesting to make sure…
What a game!! After 4 games, I would like to share my impressions and rules details.We are are 2 player household and I think it will be very seldom we play this game with more players.I think the most important I have to mention is, that both players simultaneously said that this game is more Civ than any other Civ boardgame before. It definitely feels more Civ-like and it plays more Civ-like. It is very difficult to assure my friend playing games with 3 or more hours, but this time it is easier than ever.For us there is only one minor contra I have to mention: there are a lot technologies, but while playing you can figure out what you need next. If you follow a special strategy you will pick up the techs you need quickly and set back those you don’t need. We do not feel upset by small figures or cards. Just the loading space for every game component is laughable. It is not possible to save any components well until you buy pleno boxes. You will need them definitely…
