Almost everything I liked about the game also frustrated me, and so I'm really confused about whether I like it - that makes it hard for me to really give it a great score.

Players may voluntarily remove armies and scouts from the board to form a fortress or trade caravan, respectively. Like trade, scout units may also gather production for a city, and enemy units may prevent a city from accessing production points.Adds additional commodities such as timber, silver and ivory to reduce the frequency of calamities, reduce the risk for a shortage in low value trade cards (which disproportionately hurts the players with the most cities), and increase the challenge of making large sets. Sid Meier's Civilization: The Board Game and Sid Meier's Civilization: A New Dawn are based on the same universe, but are very different types of games that offer different play experiences and can appeal to different players. This is accomplished through clever game play and purchase of several high-value civilization cards.

I have played a 2 player game and a 3 player game and both times the game ran right over 1 hour 30 minutes.Planes may be used in any battle, adding extra dice to the roll of the unit fighting, but if that player loses, the plane is destroyed as well as the fighting unit (thus planes cannot fight by themselves, only ever as support units).
