Civilization: The Card Game simulates the rise of empires as in the computer game Civilization. Players will collect resources, obtain lands, construct Buildings and Wonders, discover Technologies, and fight enemies on their way to victory. The game ends when the final Technology is bought, and the player with the most Victory Points (one each per Wonder, Technology, and Population) is declared the Winner. If Victory Points are tied, then the Winner is the player with the most Technologies. If Technologies are tied, then the Winner is the player with the most Population.
