About this game
Build your civilization from a single city to a sprawling empire across a modular hex map. Civilization: A New Dawn distills the video game experience into a board game using a clever focus row mechanic: five action cards cycle through a row, becoming more powerful the longer you wait to use them. Technology upgrades replace weaker cards with stronger versions, creating a satisfying progression arc. Faster and more accessible than most civ games without sacrificing that empire-building satisfaction.
