Advanced Civilization is an expansion for the classic Avalon-Hill boardgame Civilization. Civilization was a game (while it was still in print) in which up to seven players assumed the role of leading a tribe of primitive people from the Stone Age up to the Iron Age by managing population size, taxation, cities, warfare with neighboring tribes, and cultural advances. The setting is the Meditereannean Sea basin.

This game is appropriate for players at least age twelve (and probably) older, as it and Civilizaton require eight-twelve hours (on average) to complete a single game. It is highly strategic with a limited amount of randomness (no dice, for instance), but still enough to keep everyone on their toes.

I highly recommend this game as it makes Civilization a far more equitable and less cut-throat game than it was while enhancing the overall feel of the original version.
