Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization
Lead your people. Build your empire. Shape history.

Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization is the definitive edition of one of the greatest civilization games ever created. This updated version of Through the Ages refines the original with significant improvements to card balance, military mechanics, and overall gameplay across three historical ages, offering a richer and more competitive experience.

In this deeply strategic civilization-building game, players lead their nations from antiquity to the modern age, developing their societies by managing resources, researching technologies, constructing wonders, electing visionary leaders, and maintaining a strong military presence. A misstep in any area could leave you vulnerable to more ambitious rivals.

Gameplay Highlights:

• Card drafting system with a dynamic timeline for leaders, technologies, and wonders

• Resource management for science, food, ore, and population

• Military development to pressure or defend against opponents—without a game board or territory map

• Balance is key: a weak military invites raids, while an unproductive economy will stall progress

• Victory goes to the civilization with the most culture at the end of the modern age

• Players: 2–4

• Playing Time: 120–240 minutes

• Ages: 14+

A monumental blend of history, strategy, and card-driven mechanics, Through the Ages challenges players to make difficult decisions across centuries of development. It’s a game of vision, ambition, and adaptation, where only the most cultured nation will rise above the rest.

Rewrite history. Build a legacy. Lead your civilization to greatness.
