Depends on your group
- Our take
- BGG rates it 8.49 from 206 ratings. Skip it if your base box has the revised-civs banner, since newer printings include those civs; owners of older boxes need it only after many plays.
- What you need first
- Just the base game
- What it adds
- 31 revised civilization mats and 2 capital city mats from the base game and first two expansions, a landmark guide and complexity ratings for every civilization.
- What it fixes
- Rebalances civilizations and adds complexity ratings, so uneven civ strength matters less.
