As of now, there is not a consolidated rulebook for both Civilization and Advanced
Civilization that incorporates the new artwork. You will need to provide your own
copies of the rules.

HOW TO BUILD THE COMPLETE PACKAGE

Cards
Print out all of the card files on card stock (or your preferred paper), making note to
print each of the Advanced Civ Civilization Card files twice (there are 8 copies of
each Advanced Civ Civilization Card in the game).


Pre-‐crease each page on the center black line. Then, coat the back of each page with
spray adhesive. If you pre-‐creased the page, it will make folding the page over
simple. Use a rolling pin (or stack of books) to make sure there are no air bubbles.
Let the glue dry, then cut on the designated cut marks. The fronts and backs of your
cards will now match up perfectly.

Player Mats, Tokens, Trade & Census Board
The following files should all be printed on full page label sheets which can then be
applied to 14-‐ply chipboard. They are all DOUBLE-‐SIDED, meaning you will need to
match up the fronts and backs as best as possible before cutting. Pre-‐creasing on the
fold line before removing the label backing, and then wrapping the page around the
straight edge of the chipboard usually works best.

CityMapCensusTokens-‐SQUARE.pdf (CHOOSE ONE)

For the City, Map, and Census Tokens, you will need to choose between the
CIRCULAR option or the SQUARE option (you only need to print one of these files). If
going with the circular tokens, you will need ¾ and 1 inch arch punches or a similar
tool for making circular cuts. If you don’t have access to such tools, go with the
square tokens instead.

AST
The AST files should also be printed on full page label sheets and applied to
chipboard before cutting.

AST-‐BasicCivilizationFull.pdf (CHOOSE ONE)
AST-‐AdvCivilizationFull.pdf (CHOOSE ONE)

If you have access to 11x17 sized label sheets and the ability to print in wide format,
you can choose the FULL options. Otherwise, go with the LETTER sized options.
Each AST comes in two panels, which can be printed off and cut before joining them
together.

Game Board
Print the game board panels on full page label sheets as well. There are 12 panels,
resulting in a map that is 45x21 inches.

• GameBoard1.pdf
• GameBoard2.pdf
• GameBoard3.pdf

Optionally, you can also download the full rez files and print at poster size if you
wish.

Game Box
The game box will need to be printed off on 11x17 label sheets. Good luck. Putting a
box together is tricky.

Player Aid and Setup Guide
You can print these off on cardstock or whatever paper you prefer.

• SetupGuide.pdf

SETTING UP THE GAME

Basic Civilization
When playing basic Civilization:
1. Make sure each player’s playing mat is turned to the side WITHOUT the ‘AC’
in the upper right hand corner.
2. Do not include any commodity cards or calamity cards with ‘AC’ in the upper
right hand corner. You should have 66 commodity cards in total.
3. Use only the calamity cards WITHOUT the ‘AC’ in the upper right hand
corner. You should have 8 calamity cards, half with regular backs and half
with bright red backs.
4. Use only the Civilization cards that say ‘Civilization’ on the back (as opposed
to ‘Advanced Civilization’). You should have 72 civilization cards in total
(although, depending on player count, you may remove 1 or 2 of the
Mysticism cards from the game).
5. Use the appropriate AST and Trade & Census boards. Each player should
place one of their square unit tokens onto the AST and their smaller census
token onto the Trade & Census board.
6. Following the setup guide based on the number of players playing, use the
black & white skull tokens to mark off the areas of the board that are out of
bounds. Be sure to note the rules under Basic Civilization Only. Make sure
each player uses the appropriate amount of unit tokens (either 47 or 55).
Remove any Mysticism cards as directed. If using a setup that includes the
westernmost part of the board and either Africa or Italy are in play, be sure
that they use the Western Expansion tracks on the AST (the upper two
tracks).

Advanced Civilization
When playing Advanced Civilization:
1. Make sure each player’s playing mat is turned to the side with the ‘AC’ in the
upper right hand corner.
2. Include ALL the commodity cards. You should have 114 commodity cards in
total.
3. Use only the calamity cards with the ‘AC’ in the upper right hand corner. You
should have 12 calamity cards, all with regular backs.
4. Use only the Civilization cards that say ‘Advanced Civilization’ on the back.
You should have 192 civilization cards in total.
5. Use the appropriate AST and Trade & Census boards. Each player should
place one of their square unit tokens onto the AST and their smaller census
token onto the Trade & Census board.
6. Following the setup guide based on the number of players playing, use the
black & white skull tokens to mark off the areas of the board that are out of
bounds. Make sure each player uses the appropriate amount of unit tokens
(either 47 or 55).
