{"product_id":"zmg71000","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.  Advances The 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.  Modular Board Players 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 wont be a decider.  Playing Time The game covers a time span similar to AH Civilization - that is to pre-gunpowder. However this means that 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.  City management Players 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.  Multiple paths to victory Earn points through: - Founding cities and increasing their sizes - Advances - Objectives  - Wonders - Events\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39795549241494,"sku":"681706710006","price":184.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/9238\/4662\/files\/f8aec33f3477cc65a35635341b5c0cbb7bcee6a6jpg.jpg?v=1755130306","url":"https:\/\/popstop.co.nz\/products\/zmg71000","provider":"Pop Stop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
