Age of Civilization

About this board game

Age of Civilization is a compact civilization game for 1–4 players, with sessions lasting about 60 minutes. Across six rounds, each player guides up to three historical civilizations while seeking greatness and prosperity.

At the beginning of the game, you choose your first civilization and receive workers connected to its population. These workers can be assigned to a range of actions, including researching technologies, constructing wonders, trading with other players, and expanding your culture or military strength.

A central decision in Age of Civilization is knowing when to change direction. You may raise or annex a new civilization, resetting your workforce and gaining a new main civilization, or add a legacy ability from an annexed one. Choosing when to switch and finding effective combinations is a key part of the strategy.

• Six rounds of civilization-building decisions
• Worker assignment for research, wonders, trade, culture, and military strength

Quick to learn yet rich in decisions, Age of Civilization offers a streamlined way to lead historical civilizations toward greatness. With support for solo play and groups of up to four, it presents a flexible civilization experience in a small package.
