I was pleasantly surprised with this game. I got it just before COVID and we've been playing it almost every day, as each game (2 players) only takes about 15-20 minutes. I love its compactness, the variety that you get in each game based on the chronology/civilizations/wonders and the fact that it forces you to change your strategy (maybe in one game we'll have to collect resources during the first rounds and wait until the last few to maximize our points, or maybe a succession of wars and plagues forces us to choose much more carefully when to change civilizations, or maybe the victory point actions are gone too soon and we have to rely on wonders and technologies to get ahead on the scoreboard...) We've even tried what we call "destroyer mode": no limit in the number of civilizations you can get. Awesome!
Got the base game. The rules were easy to understand. I liked the huge variety of civilizations. Usually there are Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Chinese and that’s it.
Appreciate the overview. I have the base game - no mat. Looks like it can take up a pretty good amount of space for such a small game. It also looks like a lot of fun. I just haven't had a chance to actually get it out to play yet. :/
I’m interested because it’s like 15 bucks on Amazon right now, it’s the size of a small book, and it seems to have a lot of game crammed inside while also being easy to play. And it’s similar to one of my favorite PC games, civilization. I could see myself playing this solo or with others frequently. Ah why the hell not, I’m buying it now.

I will have to try that "destroyer mode" variant sometime. Great observations of the game!

Alice Moore I agree. There are so many different Civ cards.
Just got this today and probably gonna play with friends tomorrow and this video was super useful for learning the rules. Thank you so much!
I’m glad it helped! I hope you liked it!

I hope you get to play it soon. It's quick and a lot of fun!

I enjoy the solo. It’s a fun game. Let me know what you think. -Dean
I found solitaire play captivating.
This is the only video I've seen where there's an actual board to put the cards on. How do you get that?
It was the Kickstarter playmat.
