### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let's Get Civilized!
*by G***K on 21 April 2019*

Well. This is a classic. This means it WILL take six to seven hours to play, and that you DO need seven players to make it really shine (less than that, and somebody will probably end up outside the main area of conflict, and thus collect lots and lots of advancement cards while everybody else is trying to kill each others) but in my college years, that was a Sunday well spent. I wonder where I will get six people who has the time nowadays, but I partly bought it out of nostalgia. However, the game is great. You start as a neolithic tribe around 8000 BC, and you hope to conquer the Mediterranean before 300 BC. Meanwhile you collect resources, and by trading these you're getting able to get civiliization advances. Also disasters. One of the tricks is deciding when an advance actually is worth taking a disaster. I like this game a lot, but it certainly isn't for people in a hurry. Neither is it for people who take offense at backstabbing; while it is not nearly as mean as for example Diplomacy, everybody wants to win for themselves and you really shouldn't trust your fellow player a lot. Or at all. To sum it up, a great classic game from the time before board games became cool. I definitely recommend it, and I can't wait for the new edition of DUNE!
