A player may win by destroying rival civilizations through military combat. Players must outsmart historical leaders such as Mahatma Ghandi and Napoleon Bonaparte as they strive to advance their empire.

The player starts with a small group of Stone Age settlers and must slowly build a civilization, guiding it through centuries of development. The goal of Civilization is to build an empire and become the greatest civilization in the world. Spanning from the Stone Age into the Space Age, players guide their civilization through the centuries to create their own version of human history. It popularized the 4X genre of videogames in which players assume control of an empire and "expand, explore, exploit and exterminate." The scope of Civilization was unprecedented at the time of release. Released by game developer and publisher MicroProse in 1991, Civilization ushered in a new generation of turn-based strategy games. Designer of countless innovative and genre-defining games, Meier is considered "the Father of Computer Gaming."
