From BoardGameGeek
When history itself becomes your canvas, how will your legacy be written? Age of Civilization is a compact 1–4 player civilization game, with games typically lasting 30–60 minutes. Each player leads up to three historical civilizations in a single session. Over six rounds, you assign workers to actions like earning coins, researching technologies, constructing wonders, and expanding culture or military strength, aiming to score the most points by game's end. At the start, you choose your first civilization and gain workers tied to its population. Later, you may raise a new civilization, resetting your workforce but keeping legacy abilities from past ones. Deciding when to switch and which combinations to pursue is a core strategic choice. Quick to learn and packed with meaningful decisions, Age of Civilization delivers classic empire-building depth in a small, accessible package. -description from the publisher
