Players must explore their surroundings, build large cities, research advances and conquer those who stand in the way. The game features a modular board for players to explore, 48 distinct advances, seven mighty wonders, and loads of miniatures and cards. The winner will create a culture that will be remembered and admired for millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvances\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe game features about 48 distinct advances. The whole \"tech-tree\" is very flexible with no dead ends, yet still intuitive, sensible and \"realistic.\" Additionally you have a great overview of what advances other cultures have - no need to ask - just look. \u003cstrong\u003eModular Board\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayers start with a civilization in its infancy. Move settlers to uncharted regions and reveal the terrain and its resources. Several mechanisms have been implemented to assure that an unlucky placement of region-tiles won't be a decider. \u003cstrong\u003ePlaying Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe game covers a time span similar to AH Civilization - that is to pre-gunpowder. This epic game is playable in about an hour per player! This is a pretty good playing time for a game that covers so much ground as this game will. \u003cstrong\u003eCity management\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayers expand their cities through the game. But not just to the generic larger city. Players instead choose a building type which represents the growth of the city. For instance you can expand a city with a port, fort, temple and academy - all with different benefits! Additionally cities can be \"angry,\" \"neutral\" and \"happy.\" Everything integrated in an intuitive and elegant fashion. \u003cstrong\u003eMultiple paths to victory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarn points through:\u003cbr\u003e- Founding cities and increasing their sizes\u003cbr\u003e- Advances\u003cbr\u003e- Objectives\u003cbr\u003e- Wonders\u003cbr\u003e- Events\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayers 2-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlay Time 180-240 Minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge 14+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- \/wp:fl-builder\/layout --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Z Man Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56050133959034,"sku":"ZBG-ZMG71000","price":58.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Clash-of-Cultures.jpg?v=1760984963","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/products\/clash-of-cultures","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
