――The stage is a different world from here. Each player controls one civilization and grows from the use of fire to space development.
――Explore the world, study science and technology, and in some cases conquer other civilizations, and raise the level of progress in the four fields of [science], [technology], [exploration], and [military].
――By doing so, your civilization will expand and you will be able to acquire more resources and victory points.
――And when the civilization entered the 5th era, the player who had the most victory points won.
--In the turn, select one from [Income turn] or [Progress turn] and execute it.
――In the income turn, you will receive the income and start the next [era].
—— In your progress turn, you pay resources to advance one of the progress tracks representing science, technology, exploration, or military by one square and earn rewards for that square.
――The rule manual is only 4 pages and the skeleton is simple, but 16 civilizations boasting unique abilities and many cards bring an infinite number of developments to the game, and it is a work packed with the fun of civilization development.
