This is an expansion for Civilization. Included are more civilization advancements (both quantity and type), which give the players new options for advancement, as well as a slightly restructured commodity trading round, which has new resources and disasters to be traded. The most significant aspect of the game is a restructuring of the advancement/victory conditions, which removes the limits on advancement cards. Some claim this makes the strategies more homogenous, while others claim the reverse is true.
The use of the word "Advanced" to describe this expansion is somewhat misleading. The original Civilization game was already time-consuming and moderately difficult, and the expansion is a reworking of the original game, rather than an additive expansion. Some rules simplify and make the game easier, while other rules like the expanded technology tree are more complex.

One of the things that takes the longest in this game is figuring out which civilization cards to get and what it'll cost. There are numerous tools that do the math, but this spreadsheet employs Excel's Solver add-in to optimize the purchase of the cards. You tell it:
- Which trade cards you have
- Which trade cities you own (if using that variant)
- Where you want to use your Mining bonus
- Your treasury
- Any civilization cards that you MUST buy this turn
- Which civilization cards you currently own
When everything is input, click the "Buy me something!" button and a macro will run the Solver add-in to minimize the "waste" from spending trade cards and treasury while keeping below the 8 trade card limit. If you accept the OCP's recommendation, the civilization cards you...
