In CVlizations, you step into the shoes of a tribal leader with a rather unusual mission: writing your civilization's 'CV' to ensure it's remembered for centuries! To make this historical marketing work, you'll need to manage resources and decide which inventions, tools, buildings, and ideologies your tribe should develop to keep the people happy. The gameplay revolves around a clever action selection system. Each turn, you choose two order cards, but here's the twist: the strength of your action depends on how many other leaders are choosing that same path. If everyone is heading in the same direction, the payoff might not be what you expected! It's a game of hand management and set collection where you must balance technological progress with the happiness of your people. Ultimately, the player who collects the most happiness points wins the historical race. It's fast, strategic, and features a theme that breaks away from the traditional 'ilitary conquest' cliché, adding a humorous touch to the development of societies. ## FAQ ### How long does a game take?
