Turn order Track
Turn Order track: The Turn Order track used to keep
track of the players Turn order.
Development Matrix: The Development matrix represents on the y-axis the Military Level of each Civilization and on the x-axis the Technological Level.
Governments bonus Graphic: it indicates the bonus
associated to the form of Governments.
Used Pool. Two equivalent spaces which contain the
Used cubes of all players. These cubes are not immediately available for performing actions.
Set-up
1. Place the gameboard on the table.
2. Put the time markers on the timeline circle: the
little marker on the Turn marker starting position,
and the big one on the first Era position.
3. Separate the Wonder cards according of their Era
(I, II, III; see the back of the card). Shuffle them
and put them aside the gameboard. Then draw 7
Wonder cards from the Era I deck and put them
face up forming the Wonder row on the table.
4. Each player chooses a color; then takes 4 Power
cubes of the chosen color and puts 1 of them in
one of the Used Pool Area on the board and keeps
the other 3 in front of him. The remaining cubes
are placed in a Reserve supply near the board.
5. Each player takes the Action card Set of his color
and remove the War
and Tourism
cards, as
these cards are obtained during the game.
6. Each player chooses a Civilization taking its 5
Advisor cards. Then randomly put 1 of these cards
in the box out of the game and shuffle the others
making a Civilization deck. The first card of the
deck is added to the hand of the player. Each player places the deck near his player’s area.
7. Choose randomly the players’ order and put a

player disc marker on the Turn Order track on the
board. Then each player puts a disc marker at the
beginning of the VP track and the big disc marker
in the down-left corner of the Development Matrix (Civilization starting position).
Place a face up random territory token on each
territory of the map.
Each player takes a random milestone token and
following the Turn order places it face up on the
Development Matrix. It is allowed to put it only
in an empty cell adjacent to all empty cells (also
diagonally).
Separate the Leader cards according of their Era
(I, II, III; see the back of the card). Following the
reverse Turn order, the last player draws a number
of Leader cards from the first Era deck equal to
the number of players, then picks one Leader card
and passes the remaining cards to the next player
in reverse Turn order. This procedure is repeated
until all players have a Leader Card. The Leader
card are kept secret from each player and showed
only at the end of the Era.
Following the Turn order the players put one of
his Power cube to a territory in the map and if no
other cube is on that territory the player immediately scores the VP on the token.
The Game
played. In each Action round the players choose and
perform Actions by playing Action and/or Advisor
cards from their hand.
1.
Action cards
Game structure
The game is divided in 3 Eras. Each Era is divided in 4
Turns for a total of 12 Turns for an entire game.
At the end of each Turn, the Turn marker on the Timeline Circle is moved clockwise in the next segment and
each player has to resolve the actions indicated (see
Chapter “Turn End”, paragraph 4).
After 4 Turns, when the Timeline circle has been completed, the Era marker is moved to the next Era and
the Turn marker is placed on the first segment. Note:
the Turn marker starting position is used only at the
game start.
When the last turn of the third Era is done, the game
ends.
2. Victory conditions
To perform their actions, the players simultaneously
choose 1 or more cards from their hand. When the
choice has been done, the cards are revealed simultaneously.
The playing of an action card must follow these rules:
•
•
The winner will be the player who will score the maximum Victory Points.
3. The Turn
Each Turn is composed by a variable number of Action
rounds, depending on the number of action cards
•
The number of cards played in an Action round
depends on the Technology Level of the Civilization. The number of starting available actions is 1.
When a player reaches the technology level 5 (the
Wheel), from the next round he can do 2 actions.
When a player reaches the technology level 13
(the Medicine), from the next round he can do 3
actions.
It is not compulsory to play all the available Actions, but at least 1 Action card has to be played
in each round, even if it cannot be resolved.
Example: Carlo can play 2 action cards per round,
however he can decide to play only one. Bea can
play one action card per round, Bea is forced to play
an action card each round.
Once an action card is shown it cannot be
withdrawn, even if the planned action cannot be
performed.

Actions may cost Power cubes. If so, the player must have them available in front of him to
perform the Action. When some Power cubes are
used, they must be put on one of the Used Pool
125
on the board.
The action cards are resolved according to the
Turn order.
At his turn, each player decides the order of
resolution of his action cards. If a card has more
than one effect, the card will specify the order’s
resolution. Example: Advanced Expansion allows
120
to recover 1 Power cube first, then to move a Power
cube to a territory on the map.
The Action cards can be played as Basic or Advanced actions. Advanced version costs more, but
has powerful effects.
The Action cards can have a requirement. If the
requirement is not matched, the action result is
null.

Leader bonus: Leaders shape the development of civilizations. Each leader card has two
conditions. They grant some additional VP if at
least one of the two conditions is respected.
The civilization can score VP only for one of the conditions of the Leader card (at player’s choice), even if
both conditions are satisfied.
Example: Lorenzo il Magnifico grants 6 VP if at the end
of the Second Era the civilization has at least 6 Wonders,
or 5 VP if the technology level is at least 10, Gunpowder.
Reset Leader: New leaders are assigned.
The first player (in new Turn order) draws
a number of Leader cards as the number of
players.
The player picks one Leader card and passes
the remaining cards to the next player in Turn order.
This is repeated until all players have a Leader Card.
The Leader cards are kept secret and showed only in
the next Leader Bonus phase.

Milestone tokens
Milestones tokens represent important achievement
of the Civilizations. The first Civilization reaching
a position on the Development Matrix containing
a milestone token gains immediately the specified
bonus shown on the token and the milestone token is
removed from the game.
Territory tokens
Caesar
A territory token is used to give a VP bonus to the
Civilization which explore the territory where’s (Exploration bonus) and after to the Civilization which
control it (End of Era bonus).
Leader name
For Example, the Leader card Caesar provides 6 VP if
the Civilization reaches a minimal Military Level of 6
or 2 VP bonus if the Civilization got 2 or more Wonder
cards.
Wonder cards
Wonders are built using the Art action and grant a bonus if a condition is met. In that case each player can
activate its Wonders when perform his Action.
When a Wonder is activated the Wonder card is
rotated by 90 degrees. While a Wonder card is rotated
it is not possible to activate. There is no limit to the
number of Wonders a player can have.
A player can activate as many wonder cards he wants
during his actions. Some Wonders can be activated
if a condition is met, and, in case of tie, the Wonder
cannot be activated.

Exploration bonus: The bonus is gained when a Civilization expands on that empty territory. This bonus is
not awarded during the Setup of the game.
End of era bonus: The bonus is granted at the end
of each Era if the civilization is the only one on the
territory.
Civbots
The civbots are Civilizations automatically guided by
the game. Civbots are used to play in Solo mode or
to play in more players. Their use is optional. Civbots
behavior is driven by the Civbot cards: each card specifies one or more actions that will be performed by the
civbot. Possible actions are: gaining Technology and/
or Military level, Building a Wonder, expanding on the
map and waging wars.
The players at the beginning of the game choose the
Civbot Difficulty level: Easy, Medium, or Hard.
Setup: The starting number of Civbots is 5 - the player
number. For example in 2 players, 3 civbots are added.
Then following the Turn order the players place a
civbot Power cube on a territory of the map until all
the civbots have been placed. Finally put a disc of all
civbot on the Development Matrix in starting position
(military and technology levels 1).
Civbot turn: Civbots play at each turn end as last
thing to do. The players draw 4 Civbot cards when
playing at Easy Civbot level, 5 when playing at Medium Civbot, and 6 with Hard Civbot.
The order the civbots are updated is decided by the
first player. The civbot actions are resolved as Civbot
cards are extracted.
•
10
Art action is performed by taking the first card
from the Wonder row. If no Wonder is available
the action is not performed.
•
•
Wars are waged only if the civbot can win them.
If more than a War could be declared the civbot
attacks the weakest human player. If no human
player can be attacked, war is performed against
the weakest civbot.
If more than one territory of the same enemy can
be attacked, the civbot attacks the territory having
the smallest number.
Expansions are performed toward territories
with the highest number. Civbots expansions are
always performed toward adjacent territories even
if the civbot has already discovered the Navigation
technology.
When all cards of a civbot have been resolved, all the
Civbot cards are shuffled again.
When playing in solo games civbots also gain VP, while
when playing with other players there is no need to
assign VP to civbots.
•
•
•
•
The last territory of a Civbot can be attacked and
destroyed.
The presence of civbots is not taken into account
when considering the majority condition on some
Wonders. Example: Bea has the Colosseum and
military level 6 while Ada and Carlo have military
level 5. A civbot has military level 7. Bea can activate
the Colosseum and gain VP.
If a trade action is performed with a Civbot, it
gains 1 VP.
When a war is waged with a Civbot, it gains 2 VP.
Solo game
Solo games are played against 4 civbots. The aim of the
game is to survive and score the most VP.
There are two ways for a player to lose the game against
civbots:
•
•
The player is eliminated.
At the end of an Era, a Civbot has more VP than
the player.
