The target audience are board gamers who grew up playing Sid Meier's Civilization, specifically late 90s early 2000s between Civ 2 and Civ 4. At its heart, it's a relatively light deck builder. The designer has made many little tweaks to the gameplay to give you that nostalgia of playing Civ, from the faction leaders and policies, technology and wonder names, the way the cards are laid out in a 3x3 grid, to the eras and scoring conditions at the end of game. It is meticulously designed remind me what it was like playing Civ series until 5am in the morning just getting that one extra tech, one extra policy.Many people complained about the late game downtime of the game. Even that is completely accurate! The atrocious downtime is completely representative of how late game in Civilization just breaks down and non functional.I would not recommend this game for everyone. There is too much rule overhead, weird pacing, and thematic dissonance for the general audience. I suspect, for many people, they will be either be disappointed in how light it is once they learn it, or find it too much of a hassle for such a light game.If you have any Civ buddies that just happens to be into board games, this will be great fun and hit you with nostalgia even more than proper Civ board games. Complex Civ board games just make me want to replay the video game instead. This one is a thematic game disguised as a deckbuilding Civ game. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality components *by H***A on December 30, 2024* We were surprised with the quality of the components. No flimsy pieces in this game. Box also has a tray for storing pieces, which is nice. Punch boards were easy to punch out. Would purchase again from this company. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff *by V***9 on October 3, 2024* This is a fine expansion to a fun game. As of now there’s only one other “review” posted, and it’s from a disgruntled Kickstarter backer who has a problem with the *publisher,* not the expansion itself. I ordered this item on Amazon, along with the base game and other expansion, and received them all promptly. Ignore the hater whose complaint doesn’t belong here, and enjoy the game. ## Frequently Bought Together - Monumental African Empires Expansion - Civilization & Deckbuilding Board Game, Ages 10+, 1-5 Players, 90-120 Min - Monumental Lost Kingdoms Expansion - Civilization & Deckbuilding Board Game, Adds a 5th Player, Ages 10+, 1-5 Players, 90-120 Min - Spin Master Games, Marvel Comic Hunters, Comic Collecting Strategy Card Game for Fans of Marvel Rivals & Action Movies, 1-4 Players, for Ages 14 & Up --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/574313130-monumental-african-empires-expansion-civilization-and-deckbuilding-board-game-ages](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/574313130-monumental-african-empires-expansion-civilization-and-deckbuilding-board-game-ages) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
