Where it came from
Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization was released in 2015 by Czech Games Edition as a comprehensive reimagining of Vlaada Chvátil's original 2006 title, Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization. Developed to refine the complex mechanics of the original, the game maintains the core 'civilization building' experience while updating the visual aesthetic and streamlining the card-driven resource management systems that define the gameplay.
Designed by Vlaada Chvátil, the game is renowned for its intense strategic depth and lack of a physical map, focusing instead on abstract development and the interplay of military, technology, and culture. Upon its release, the updated version was widely praised by the board gaming community for its improved balance and accessibility, quickly solidifying its position as one of the most highly regarded titles in the strategy board game genre.
