This sounds interesting.
I have the oldest Civilization boardgame, which is a fun game, but it takes so damn long and it is extremely complicated for new players. Now I don't mind complicated and long games, but that does make it very hard to find people to play it with....

I've never player the 2 previous implementations of the video games. However, I played "Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization" that was realy a great game. However, it does not feel like the videogame (it does not have a map).
4 hours that is the most I can afford to spend on a board game nowdays (put the kids to bed, go play a game and get a couple hours of sleep) . Last week, I've played a 10 hour game (Twilight Imperium) and that was way too mutch familly management. This one advertizes for 2-4 hours and 2-4 players. That could be a good fit as I have 2-3 board game friends that played some Civ in the past.

The board game that came out after Civ3 rules all the way. I have played it many times with a group of friends who also love it. We even altered the rules a bit, because we found it ways to exploit it otherwise. The downside is: to really enjoy it, it does require a full day to play it (similar to Diplomacy), because the extended rules are way superior over the standard rules.
