Civilization Strategy Cards

• The Strategy Card Phase is conducted at the beginning of each turn.

• One card is replenished or exchanged per turn.

• Strategy Cards are not usually revealed until they are completed.

• A few cards are kept until used and allow the player to “Draw Another Card.” These do not have to be revealed.

• Most cards have an Objective and Reward

• If the Objective is accomplished some time during the turn then it may be revealed during the Strategy Card Phase, replenished, and the Reward obtained.

• Any unwanted card can be exchanged during the Strategy Card Phase but must have been held for at least one round.

• Once a new era begins a player can only draw from the new deck.

• If a card awards a resource to the player then an appropriate unused resource chit is placed on a city and counts toward potential trade and monopoly calculations.

• The “Spy Mission” cards in the Modern Era require additional pieces (We use Laura Croft pieces from the card game)
