Advanced Civilization is the expansion game for the board game Civilization, published in 1991 by Avalon Hill. Ownership of the original game is necessary to play. Both games are no longer published, following the dissolution of the original Avalon Hill game company and sale of all rights to titles to Hasbro in 1998.

Advanced Civilization is more of a race against time as opposed to a competition with the neighbors. The way to win the game is to advance more quickly than the opposition. There is a “final advancement stage” where humans can allegedly learn nothing new, at least within the scope of the game. The civilization to reach this point first is the winner, and wasting time and energy with war is counterproductive to the cause, albeit entertaining at times.

Advanced Civilization takes place in Europe near the Mediterranean Sea. Similar to the later Civilization games by Sid Meier, the game starts about eight thousand years ago in a period of very ancient history when humans were just rising to their present state. The game spans the gap of time and takes the budding civilization to the modern era. The goal of the game is very interesting: build a civilization that will become the greatest nation in the world a global super power.
