hey! check this out

Clash of Cultures is a 4X-style empire builder game by Christian Marcussen that I think is pretty nifty! Players take control of competing civilizations at the dawn of history and try to develop them throughout history. It does a good job of emulating the feel of classic 4X games like Sid Meier's Civilization while avoiding a lot of the pitfalls of the genre--it's relatively streamlined and there is a good balance between cultural development rather than simply being the biggest bully on the block (it is theoretically possible to win even after being wiped out.)

One thing that separates CoC from a lot of its civ-building brethren is that each civilization starts out completely generic, with no distinguishing characteristics or real-world theme. There is an expansion pack, Clash of Cultures: Civilizations, coming in the near future that will change this. But I'm still new to CoC (having only been introduced by Stelas's ongoing PBF) and the base game is shiny enough for me, so rather than waiting and learning a bunch of new stuff I've decided to get another forum game going.

Speaking of Stelas, I've ganked his condensed rule sheet to help get a quick overview of the game. Thanks Stelas! The complete rulebook is also available in PDF form if you want to get into the details.



I am looking for four players (preferably ones who aren't playing in the other thread already) who can commit to actively participating for what is likely to be at least 3-4 months. PMs are required for sharing the contents of player hands.
