Historia

In Historia, you lead a civilization through 12,000 years of human history, from the first sparks all the way to the Singularity. You discover technology, expand across the planet, and decide when to trade with more advanced neighbors or exploit your land for power. Armies clash, raids happen, and wonders go up to make your people stand out and, eventually, attract tourists and newcomers. Everyone chooses action cards at the same time, and the cards you use form a discard queue that returns to your hand later, so timing matters as much as choice. It plays one to six and takes about twenty-five minutes per player, which makes it a long evening for a full table.
