A player can send a trade caravan to city-states, conquer the barbarians that harass them, and place control tokens on the board to expand their empire and control resources. This list has wallet-sized and wallet-friendly games; games for the first timer and for friends who have been playing for years. The game's goal is clever, yet the mechanics that lead there mean that a civ is likely to win with only a handful of Level IV Focus cards.

It will likely not attract the boomer crowd who are still captivated with 80s game design or those seeking the emulation of the computer game like the 2010 Civilization board game. last but not least, there is now possibility for up to five players to lead their own civilizations and discover new areas!
