Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization

Through the Ages delivers an epic civilization-building experience compressed into a card-driven engine. Players guide their societies from antiquity to modernity, balancing military strength, cultural advancement, scientific progress, and resource production. Every decision cascades through multiple systems—building wonders competes with developing technologies, while maintaining happiness prevents revolts. The tension builds as players navigate military conflicts and political machinations without direct board confrontation. Instead, wars and aggressions unfold through card play, creating psychological pressure as opponents threaten your carefully constructed empire. The game demands long-term planning and adaptation as ages progress, with early investments paying dividends or becoming obsolete. Players experience the weight of leadership, feeling genuine triumph when their civilization flourishes and anxiety when rivals surge ahead. This is cerebral, multiplayer optimization at its finest—deeply strategic, occasionally cutthroat, and immensely satisfying for those who embrace its complexity and 3-4 hour playtime.
