New Civilization boardgame announced! |

I just found this:

Quote:
Civilization: The Board Game
Designed by Kevin Wilson, Civilization: The Board Game is inspired by the legendary video game series created by Sid Meier. Players are tasked with guiding an entire civilization throughout the ages, taking ownership of your people’s technology, economy, culture, and military, as well as all the choices that go along with them. There are four different paths to victory, and each is riddled with opposition.
In Civilization: The Board Game, 2-4 players take on the roles of famous leaders in charge of historical civilizations, each with their own abilities. Players will be able to explore a module game board, build cities and buildings, fight battles, research powerful technology, and attract great people by advancing their culture. No matter what your play style is, there is a civilization for you!

Now, I already own two Civ board games that are pretty complex. That doesn't mean they're not fun, but if you want to enjoy it you need a game group that is familiar with the rules. A new game should be easy to learn to be worth picking up, but then I'm afraid it's just too simple. If you want simple, just play Catan. And if I buy it the box will most likely end up with some guy that moves to the arctic anyway

No, I'm not talking about the regular edition or the pre-order special edition, but this:

That's right. You get it with a box Oh, and some tin soldiers to go with your book shelf. With a price tag of $100 it's practically free.

Civ on Steam |
|

Steam has a deal on Civ IV today. You can now buy Civ IV + 2 expansion packs and Civ:Colonization for € 9.99,-. Dunno what they'll charge you in dollars though. It's steamplay as well, so for those who own a Mac as well, you'll be civ IV ready on any system.
I suspect most of us own all these games already anyway but if you don't or some are lost/broken, this is a nice deal.
