Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization
Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization is a modern, revised edition of the acclaimed strategy game Through the Ages. With updated cards, streamlined mechanics, and a completely reworked military system, this edition offers a deeper and more balanced civilization-building experience.
In this epic game of development and progress, players guide their nations from the age of antiquity to the modern era. You'll manage resources, discover technologies, elect leaders, construct wonders, and maintain a careful balance between culture, science, production, and military strength.
Card drafting lies at the heart of the game. Technologies, leaders, and wonders enter the pool gradually and become easier to acquire over time. To implement these cards, you'll need to generate enough science to research them, food to grow your population, and resources to build structures and units. Every choice requires careful planning.
Military strength is a key factor. While there's no map and no territorial conquest, a weak army leaves you vulnerable to aggression. Stronger players can sabotage your progress, steal resources, or undermine your culture. You don't need a dominant military to win, but ignoring it will almost certainly lead to defeat.
The game ends at the close of the modern age, and the player with the most culture points wins. With incredible strategic depth and no luck-based mechanics, Through the Ages is a definitive civilization game for serious thinkers and long-game planners.
