POCKETCIV (version 2.0) (updated January 21st, 2008) A Solitaire Civization game that's compact enough to play on a plane. Hopefully. Well, maybe not, but it's close...in it's most basic form.

QUESTIONS/COMMENTS: As this game now has a presence on BoardGameGeek, I'd like to let people know that I will gladly take any submissions for further Scenarios and compile them (somehow). Additionally, I hardly consider the game to be "finished," and have no qualms about adjusting things here or there if I feel it makes the game better, so if you have any comments or suggestions, send 'em in! Contact scott by email. Read Scott's enormously biased opinions and see his favorite nifty links at Meeplespeak.

OBJECT:
Using only a pad of paper, a pencil, and a specialized deck of cards, lead your civilization through the ages to become ... civilized.

DOWNLOADABLES:
The slow process to version 2.0 is now complete! Well, the process isn't that slow, I've just had other plates spinning in the air that I had to deal with.

Once again, the only things you really need to download are the Basic Files. For a better PocketCiv boardgame experience, you can optionally download the Deluxe Files.

• BASIC FILES:
• Rules(updated 01/21/08) -- Fixed the broken link.
• Advance and Wonder list (updated 8/29/07) -- new and exciting Advances to better screw up your Empire.
• Event cards (updated 9/03/2007) -- There currently has been no working change with the Event cards from the earlier version of the game. However, the new Event cards includes additional iconography for eventual expansion when playing with larger Empires.
• Get yourself a pencil.
• Get yourself a pad of paper.

• DELUXE FILES:
• Advance Cards(updated 8/31/2007) -- The full set of new Advance cards.
• Region and Counter artwork (updated 9/03/2007) -- A new set of land tiles, which will work with the future experimental larger Empire concept. Plus, as requested, a little more graphically artsy.
• Scenarios (1-15) (updated 1/17/08) -- The scenario book has now been designed to work with PocketCiv 2.0. The previous starter scenarios layouts have been included as beginner, simple to win scenarios, plus a few new ones have been added at the end.
• Get yourself some glass beads or small wooden cubes.
• Get yourself some poker chips for tracking Gold, and/or Glory.

OTHER OPTIONAL DOWNLOADABLES:
I would also like to note that the board game geek community has come up with a lot of nice additions and play aids for the game. By going to the BoardGameGeek PocketCiv entry, and scrolling down to the FILES section, you can find a lot of nifty extra bonuses just to make your PocketCiv parts box a llittle bit more bigger and impressive!

Of particular coolness, is this PocketCiv Visual Tech Tree that was put together by Naegele Bernhard. Thanks!
