Civolution

Hello, student beings! The cosmic faculty of the Technical Academy of Creation is delighted to welcome you to your Civolution, the final exam in Civilization Design!

For this occasion, we prepared a humanoid scenario on an isolated continent. Here, each of you holds the rank of a local deity which is closely linked to its very own civilization and must lead it to success over the other civilizations. Your developmental possibilities are endless and reach from cultural and technical progress to evolutional adaptations. For example, what would you consider more beneficial to your tribes: inventing the wheel or growing wings? Demonstrate your ability to operate your civilization console and show us how well you can adjust to changeable environmental conditions and mild creational chaos.

When the exam ceases after four eras, whoever managed to gather the most success points will not only pass the exam but will become a full member of the Technical Academy of Creation and garner the opportunity to be promoted to the next instance.

Black Forest

In Black Forest, you start out with a small domain in need of new buildings and livestock. You’ll travel from village to village, to enlist the aid of the best specialists. Exploiting the abilities of these specialists lets you collect resources, lay out new landscape tiles (e.g. ponds and fields), and build a variety of buildings, which come in four types. Choose the right buildings, place landscapes, fire up your glass production, and expand your domain.

Uwe Rosenberg’s resource wheels, made famous in Glass Road (2013), return in Black Forest. Two resource wheels on your tableau help you keep track of your resources and production. Black Forest continues the story - as the name suggests — in the Black Forest. Among others, the main difference between the two games is the use of worker placement in Black Forest instead of simultaneous action selection. A wide selection of buildings and their different effects offer many different paths to victory.

Wrath Of Fire Mountain

Welcome to the land of Fire Mountain, a primordial land of ever shifting terrain where tribes vie for control using the power of their dinosaurs and the blessing of the volcano.

Each turn in Wrath of Fire Mountain, you roll the dice Yahtzee-style, then take actions with the die results. For each volcano, place one of your cave people on the volcano tile; for each egg, place a cave person on the dinosaur-hatching region; for each cave or hut, place a cave person on the matching tile on the 4x4 game board; for each foot, move one of your cave people one space, passing through water (but not stopping there) and avoiding the volcano completely as you occupy the grass and jungle tiles.

If you have enough cave people on the dinosaur-hatching region, you can take one of the dinosaurs from this area and add them to your supply, placing them on a cave or hut, then moving them among the tiles like a person. Each dinosaur has a special power, such as letting you roll an extra die, occupying water spaces, or flying to any tile.

If you have the most people on the volcano tile (or are tied for the most), you can push the tiles in the row or column with the volcano one space, placing the tile ejected from the 4x4 grid into the now empty space at the end of the row/column.

Finally, if all of the volcano spaces are filled, the volcano erupts and players are rewarded for their presence on the land. Look at each separate forest, grass, and water area; whoever has the most presence in an area (or is tied for the most), scores points equal to the number of tiles in the area, then they return all of their pieces in this area to their supply. Players also score based on their presence at the volcano, which is also emptied.

After a volcano scoring, if a player has reached a point threshold that's based on the number of players, the game ends, and whoever has the most points wins.
