Title: Civilisation
Post by: Kanomike on March 23, 2009, 08:51:08 am
A friend of mine has just picked up a copy of civilisation and we are planning on getting between 5 and 7 of us together to play.  Will be the first tiem for all of us.  Have picked up a copy of the rules from BBG for us all to go through before the day; I was wondering however if anyone has come across a flash demo or anything or is it just too hard for that?

Thanks for any feedback.

Mike

I've always wanted to try this game myself but never have

A few friends, (6 of us), used to play this every New Year's Day. It is a long game and we rarely finished. Our friends owned the game and explained the rules. It is involved enough that you want to read through the rules a few times.

There are some game aids and summaries on BGG: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/71 (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/71)
I notice there are lots of links at the bottom of the game page to Civilisation sites. They may have tutorials or resources, be sure to check them out.

There is even a Wiki for the game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_(board_game) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_(board_game))
