Return to the dawn of history and master the ancient world in Civilisation, a timeless classic re-released by Gibsons in 2018.

Each player takes control of a nation with the goal of building the most advanced society in the known world. This is not a war game; while military strategy is important, your aim is to leverage every resource at your disposal to develop your nation.

You’ll gather commodities, build cities, trade with neighbouring nations, create alliances and even go to war to acquire aspects of your increasingly advanced civilisation such as literacy, astronomy and engineering.

Civilisation is as challenging as it is rewarding; a must-have for board game fanatics. Prepare to simultaneously become a decisive strategist, expert negotiator and infrastructural mastermind as you struggle to build the world’s greatest civilisation.
