Sid Meier´s Civilization: A New Dawn is a strategy board game in which two to four players act as the rulers of history´s most memorable empires. Over the course of the game, players will expand their domains, gain new technologies, and build many of humanity´s greatest wonders. In the end, one nation will rise above all others to leave its indelible mark upon history.

This new game presents players with an undiscovered country to conquer, built from beautifully illustrated map tiles. These would-be conquerors construct and populate the map with barbarians, natural resources, and city-states, then formulate their plans for how they will shape this world to their vision. Their exact goals, however, change with each game. Agendas are detailed on victory cards, three of which are drawn during set up. Players race to become the first to accomplish one agenda on each of these victory cards, spreading throughout the world and ensuring their civilization´s place as the greatest world power.

Before players begin their mission to rewrite history, they must each select the leader they will embody for the duration of the game. Players may become the Roman emperor Trajan, the Aztec´s warrior Montezuma, France´s Catherine de Medici, and many more, each with their own unique abilities that help you shape the world along specific ideologies. Once equipped with their leaders’ tools and missions, players are ready to build a nation like none the world has ever seen!
