Welcome to the Console! (all pictures are taking with the German version, but you can check the rulebook to see the English one)
This is the heart of Civolution and it's the place where you control your actions.
Now that the rulebook is online, you can look at all the actions you can take in detail, but here's a quick overview if you don't want to get into it TOO deep at this point!
The console is the home of all the modules you can activate during the game. On the right side you can see all of them. To activate them, you combine dice or focus markers. For example: The dice 2 and 5 will trigger the module Procreation. That means you add tribes to your continent (we'll introduce the continent in the next post). During the came you can upgrade the 15 main modules to make them more advanced and improve your actions.
On the left side of the console you collect resources you collect from the continent, as well as money and food for your tribes. It's also the place where your buildings are stored, before you build them. Plus it contains a space for goals you can achieve during the games. You also collect your idea and focus markers you can use to manipulate your dice there. So a lot is going on ON the console.
But the space above the console isn't less important. That's where you install your cards and chips to get bonuses, trigger income and actions or just fill the rows to get as many success points as possible at the end of the game.
We will walk you through the pieces of the game like this step by step now. Coming up next: The continent
