The giant 46” x 36” gameboard (featuring artwork by Paul Niemeyer). Created by Glenn Drover, designed by  Gameplay: The game is played on a stylized map of Earth. At the start of the game, a series of  exploration markers are placed face-down on each of the land regions of the board,  and each player begins with two small settlements, consisting of a town, a settler  unit, and a swordsman unit, on a land region of their choosing (in the advanced rules,  each player also begins with one technology). At the start of the game, each player  uncovers the exploration markers in the regions where they have settlements, following  its effects if necessary (some markers are ignored, based on the type of marker). In the standard rules, players reaching a series of milestones may claim a wonder  of the world at any point in the game. In the advanced rules, wonders are granted  by the purchase of various technologies, and provide a benefit to the player for  the era that they are associated with. Each turn consists of four phases. All players perform actions simultaneously  in each phase, though the starting player rotates among the players between turns.  The phases are as follows: Movement Phase. In this phase, players may move any or all of the units on the board.  Depending on how the movement concludes, there may be battles that are needed to be  resolved. Trade Phase. Players may freely conduct trades for material, mainly for use in a later  point in the game. In the advanced game, players are constrained on who they may trade  with, based on the technologies that have been researched and the proximity of a player's  settlements with another player's. Production Phase. Each of the players then produce gold. The amount of gold produced is  based on the size of a player's settlements, the numbers and types resources that are  near the city, and the technologies that are researched by the player. Purchase Phase. Players may purchase units, build or upgrade settlements, and discover  new technologies. In the advanced rules, the units and city improvements available for  purchase is constrained by the technologies that have been researched, with the player  discovering an enabling technology receiving a portion of the unit's cost when other  players purchase anything (except settlement upgrades) that the technology enables.  Technologies also grant a bonus for the player to research them in the advanced rules.  A player may also sell obsolete units for an amount of gold under the advanced rules.
