Features
Advanced Civilization enhances the game as much as it expands it, clarifying rules and simplifying certain aspects of the game. New features include:
- Assigning points to position on the Archaeological Succession Table (AST), rather than void a player from winning who has fallen behind in development
- Unlimited Civilization cards, omitting the fight to acquire advances before other players
- Seven new commodity cards, making the ever-important trade phase far more exciting
- Four new calamity cards
- Introduction of non-tradeable calamities
- Eight new Civilization cards, including a new group: religion
- Simplified trade to speed the game up
- Rules for 8 players
- Rules for late-comers and those that leave early

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
