Civolution: The Eurogame That Tests Your Strategic DNA

24 Apr 2025 0 Comments
Civolution: L’eurogame che mette alla prova il tuo DNA strategico

✨ A sandbox? A civilization? No, it's Feld having fun (a lot)

Civolution is an ambitious and out-of-scale title. And not just because it requires almost an hour per player, plus setup and explanation – but because it demands from you to play “with your gut” and “with your brain” at the same time .

It puts you in the shoes of a student simulating the development of a civilization… not to save it, but to pass an exam . Ironic, caustic and brilliant.
In 4 intense rounds you will have to adapt to events, objectives, scores, resources and a personal dashboard console worthy of NASA.
Civolution is a civilization game that pretends to be a sandbox . In reality, it pushes you to read the signs, go with the flow… but with style. And lots and lots of tactical optimization .


🎲 The Chaos Console: Dice, Modules, and Choices Every Turn

Every turn in Civolution is a mini-journey:
🎛️ you roll the dice and choose the right combinations to activate modules
🏗️ you expand, you evolve, you build
📊 Follow weather events, returns, bonus rounds and a thousand other little things that you could miss… if you don't read carefully!

Your personal board has 21 different actions and a central space where you accumulate cards, bonuses, objectives and modules: an inverted pyramid that will be the heart of your final score .

Yet every decision is filtered through a sea of ​​randomness : the dice, sure, but also objectives, tiles, events, attributes. Sound like a lot? It is. But it's not frustrating . Feld challenges you to read the chaos and translate it into points .


🧠 A perfect regulation (but patience is needed)

The Civolution manual is an example of clarity. But it will take an hour just to explain the first game . The setup is long. Downtime exists. But then…

🔁 The turns flow surprisingly quickly , randomness becomes an accomplice and the desire to replay explodes.

The first games are pure exploration. Each new session reveals details, connections, strategies. Like a tabletop roguelite, it invites you to discover new paths each time.


💬 Who is it for (and who is it not for)

  • You love deep, long games full of surprises

🎓 Bottom line: Feld signs his most ambitious title

Civolution isn’t for everyone, and that’s the beauty of it.
It’s like a science lab full of sparks, nuts, and components to be handled with care. It requires attention, patience, intuition… and it repays you with a rare depth.

If you love discovering games that are not immediately tamed , but that know how to make you fall in love in the long term, then this simulated civilization could really win you over.

Civolution is here. And it’s just waiting for you to test it out.
