Civolution

About this board game

Civolution is a medium-heavy to heavy euro-style civilization game for 1–4 players, with plays lasting around 180 minutes. You take the role of a local deity guiding a civilization across an isolated continent through a four-era final exam in civilization design.

Each game challenges you to operate your civilization console and respond to changing environmental conditions and mild creational chaos. Your development can follow many different directions, from cultural and technical progress to evolutionary adaptations. Will your tribes benefit more from inventing the wheel or growing wings?

The central system uses dice selection to trigger actions on a tech tree-like structure. As you decide how best to use your dice and bring your unique cards into play, you can develop a wide range of strategies and paths to victory. The game’s systems and many cards offer more possibilities than you will explore in a single session.

• Guide a civilization through four eras.
• Use dice to activate actions on a tech tree-like structure.
• Develop cultural, technical, and evolutionary possibilities.
• Adapt to changeable environmental conditions and creational chaos.
• Compete for success points in a civilization-design exam.

At the end of the exam, the player who has gathered the most success points passes and becomes a full member of the Technical Academy of Creation, with the opportunity to be promoted to the next instance. Civolution combines strategic planning with extensive replay variety, since each play reveals only a fraction of its available possibilities.

A webapp implementation of the V.I.C.I. solo automa is also available for use with a physical copy of the game, providing an option for solo play.
