Sid Meier's Civilization: The Board Game (FFG 2010, Complete with Expansions)

"All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom." - Albert Einstein --- It was quite an undertaking- more than 95% of the files herein are scanned from my personal collection of the game, each item manually cropped, rotated, and resized for maximum quality, resulting in a labor of love that consists of over 300 individual items in the mod. Included is not only the base game, but also the Fame and Fortune and Wisdom and Warfare expansions, each adding to this already colossal game. After the creator of a previous mod of the same game disappeared, I was hoping someone else would replace it- but as the old saying goes, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself- so I did. I hope that this is not merely a recreation of the former mod, but an improvement upon it. No other board game comes close to capturing the feel of Sid Meier's Civilization series- while there have been three other tabletop game adaptations of the series, I can safely say that this is the only one that truly feels like you're playing the video game as a tabletop game. Grab one to four friends and get ready for an epic journey wherein you lead your people from using sticks and stones all the way to traversing the stars. Explore the world, expand your borders, exploit the land and its resources, and exterminate your foes. Erect marvelous Wonders of the World, employ the aid of Great Persons, enlist armies to fend off your enemies, enact new forms of Government with different Social Policies. Much like the video game, there are multiple paths to victory, allowing you to pursue it via Conquest, Science, Culture, or Commerce. --- As a glimpse of what's inside, here's a few of the more important things: 16 Civilizations 44 Technologies 43 Map Tiles (16 starting tiles and 27 neutrals) 42 Great People (42 cards repre
