Features players have enjoyed in the Civilization series, like research, city happiness, production and culture, can now be managed actively in the wonderfully immersive world of CivCity: Rome.

Strategy

Bara says...

Ages 10+, but every child is different

The game requires complex resource management, long-term planning, and a grasp of historical concepts that are generally too demanding for younger children. The gameplay focus on administrative strategy rather than fast-paced action makes it more suitable for pre-teens and older players.
