Mega Civilization, is a game of skill for 5 to 18 players covering the historical development of ancient civilization from just after the last Ice Age to the dawn of the new era at the end of the Iron age - a time span of almost 8,000 years. Each player leads their own civilization as it tries to expand its culture over a map board that stretches from Europa to India.

Although battles and territorial strategy are important, Mega Civilization is not a wargame as you might expect when looking at the board. Instead, the objective of play is to gain a level of overall advancement involving cultural, economic, scientific, political, civic, and religious factors. The player who most effectively balances these various goals will achieve the best scores and win.

NB:

It is heavily recommended to read the rules in advance, or to find a guide on Youtube, that explains the rules, since the game contains a lot of rules that would need thorough explanation.
