Sid Meier's Civilization: A New Dawn is a strategy board game where two to four players act as the rulers of history's most memorable empires. Over the course of the game, players 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 their indelible mark upon history.

This new game presents players with an undiscovered country to conquer, made from beautifully illustrated map tiles. These would-be conquerors build 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 each game. Agendas are laid out on victory cards, three of which are drawn during set up. Players will 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.
