Once you have found the cities and mines that have been lost in the fog, you can rebuild your empire by building trade routes and developing technology. But don't take too long! After 85 turns, the barbarians attack. Will your empire withstand their assault, or will your enemies smash it into rubble?

Civilization - in 2 minutes!
This game is fantastic! A super-streamlined version of Civ, and each game online takes a couple of minutes. Glad to see it on the app store - buy this immediately!
Closer to Minesweeper than Civ, but still good
This is a fun game that feels a little light on strategy. Could use a couple of additional layers of depth (Ex/ Control of different research options, control of city placement, control of weapons placement etc..). Seems a little too linear for me. Still a good way to spend 5min - 2 hours - your choice.
EPIC!!! fail.
this game and the review lead you to believe there is something more to this game... there is not. only slight boredom and hand cramps..this game feels like it should be 99 cents but even at that price i wouldn't have been pleased.. you could be playing a multitude of other "better" strategy games. end of story.
