{"product_id":"clash-of-cultures","title":"Clash of Cultures","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom Christian Marcussen, the creator of Merchants and Marauders, comes Clash of Cultures, a civilization game in which each player leads a civilization from a single settlement to a mighty empire. Players must explore their surroundings, build large cities, research advances and conquer those who stand in the way. The game features a modular board for players to explore, 48 distinct advances, seven mighty wonders, and loads of miniatures and cards. The winner will create a culture that will be remembered and admired for millennia.\n\nAdvances\nThe game features about 48 distinct advances. The whole \"tech-tree\" is very flexible with no dead ends, yet still intuitive, sensible and \"realistic.\" Additionally you have a great overview of what advances other cultures have - no need to ask - just look.\n\nModular Board\nPlayers start with a civilization in its infancy. Move settlers to uncharted regions and reveal the terrain and its resources. Several mechanisms have been implemented to assure that an unlucky placement of region-tiles won't be a decider.\n\nPlaying Time\nThe game covers a time span similar to AH Civilization - that is to pre-gunpowder. This epic game is playable in about an hour per player! This is a pretty good playing time for a game that covers so much ground as this game will.\n\nCity management\nPlayers expand their cities through the game. But not just to the generic larger city. Players instead choose a building type which represents the growth of the city. For instance you can expand a city with a port, fort, temple and academy - all with different benefits! Additionally cities can be \"angry,\" \"neutral\" and \"happy.\" Everything integrated in an intuitive and elegant fashion.\n\nMultiple paths to victory\nEarn points through:\n- Founding cities and increasing their sizes\n- Advances\n- Objectives \n- Wonders\n- Events\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.61 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Christian Marcussen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Z-Man Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51909485068504,"sku":"SB-8B346DB09AB5-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/60qcfs39hpl7khx0a0o0ithjqvu1.jpg?v=1785462188","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/clash-of-cultures","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
