civilization boardgame
This is a Euro-style boxed game, with two mounted
maps, 110 cards, 120 wooden pieces, and 6 player aids.
Game scale: Each
hex: 1000 miles. Each turn: 1000 years All components bilingual (English and
German).
Unlike a standard Euro game, this game is a historical
simulation, with the ambitious goal of describing, in three eras, the origins of
everything human. Players start with a brain map of one of five pre-conscious
hominid species, 115 thousand years ago. They also start with a Demography sheet
and a single hunter-gatherer unit in the Old World, as it enters the glacial
period of the Pleistocene Ice Age.
The maps of the Old and New Worlds
depict various plants and animals, from coconuts and maize to mammoths and
sheep, that they must try to domesticate to become herdsmen and agriculturists.
They must expand their mind, as they learn the arts of language and imitation of
competing cultures. Players who do poorly may become enslaved by other cultures,
only to get a new chance as advanced civilizations go through cycles of chaos
and renaissances. Global Warming may end the Ice Age and flood the coastal
settlements, and deserts, jungles, and glaciers advance and retreat as the
millenia pass. There are three eras in the development of the mind: The Age of
Instinct (pre-lingual), The Bicameral Age (lingual but not yet conscious), and
the Age of Faith (conscious with faith-based authorizations). An expansion (to
be released in 2008) brings the game into the Age of Reason (today).
The
24 page rulesbook, in English and German, includes maps and 6 pages of
historical background, a theory on the origins of consciousness, weather charts
and historical maps. The historical backdrop of each and every card, from the
Pleistocene to the Medieval Era, is described and
illustrated.
