Guns & Steel: A Civilization Card Game

Players guide a civilization from antiquity into the modern age through a shared tableau of cards that represent technologies, buildings, units and wonders. Each turn, players draft and add cards to their personal area, flip cards to activate abilities or transform them into new options, and manage resources and influence to develop production, science, military power and cultural achievements. Conflict arises through military expansion and card effects rather than a separate battle board; wonders provide lasting bonuses while certain cards allow conquest or disruption of opponents. The game supports 2–4 players and resolves multiple eras with tight, choice-driven turns lasting about an hour.
