Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization is the new edition of Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization, with many small and large changes to the game’s cards across three ages and extensive changes to how the military works.
Through the Ages is a civilization-building game. Each player attempts to build the best civilization through careful resource management, discovering new technologies, choosing the right leaders, building wonders, and maintaining a strong military. Weakness in any area can be exploited by your opponents. The game takes place throughout the ages, from antiquity to modern times.
One of the core mechanisms in TTA is card drafting. Technologies, wonders and leaders come into play and become easier to draft the longer they are in play. To use a technology, you need enough science to discover it, enough food to create a population to staff it, and enough resources (ore) to build the building to use it. While balancing the resources needed to advance your technology, you also need to build a military. The military is built in the same way as civilian buildings. Players with a weak military will be exploited by other players. There is no map in the game so you cannot lose territory, but players with stronger military will steal resources, science, kill leaders, take population or culture. It is very difficult to win with a large military, but it is very easy to lose due to a weak one.
Victory is achieved by the player whose nation has the most culture at the end of modern times.
