GWUGS Civilization Cards
GWUGS Civilization Cards -- updated 12/5/93
Ok gamers, here are the GWUGS Civilization(TM) cards. Copyright 1993
The George Washington University Gamer's Society. Feel free to use
them all you want, just don't try to make any money off them with out
our permission.
These cards were made to spice the game up, bring in advances from
the computer game that were not in the board game, and to give us
cards to buy after we bought all the standard cards. These cards were
designed to be played with Advanced Civilization using the imperial and
trade city variants. The will work with out them, but the odds are
you'll never have the points to buy most of them.
When using these cards, they don't cause the AST requirements to
increase. When it says you need cards of every color, it means every
color that came with the game -- not the new ones introduced below.
The New Types of Cards
Politics (purple), Trade (pink), Adv. Crafts (brown)
The colors were picked because those were the color markers we had
available. Adv. Crafts are different from Crafts because if they were
all lumped together, the discounts would get too astronomical.
