Product Description

"Game of the Heroic Age: The Dawn of History 8000 BC to 250 BC" "Be forewarned! CIVILIZATION is a game unlike any other game ever invented ... a game of high-level player interaction with no dice and little risk of any player being eliminated. Object of the game: to gain a level of overall advancement to which cultural, economic, and political factors are important. The winner is the player who maintains the best balance between activities of nomads, farmers, citizens, merchants and adventurers. CIVILIZATION is not a wargame! The game is not won by wars, although some conflicts will occur due to rivalry and land shortage, rather than as a desire to eliminate other players. YOU start at the Dawn of History ... at the point where agriculture has just been discovered and lead your society through the mists of time to the age of the civilized state - 8000 B.C. to 250 B.C. How to Play: starling with a single token, each player moves and increases his units of population as he inhabits selected areas of the board which are fertile and defendable. This era is likely to be marked by small conflicts as the board reaches saturation, but the scope for military expansion is limited by the loss of units in the areas concerned. Indeed, the pressure of population is more usefully absorbed by farming and building cities, which enables more people to be supported and helps to resist attacks.
