Mosaic: A Story of Civilization is a Civilization-Building game by renowned designer Glenn Drover, known for titles such as Age of Empires III: The Age of Discovery, Railways of the World, Sid Meier's Civilization: The Boardgame, and Raccoon Tycoon. In Mosaic, players engage in an action selection gameplay where, on each turn, you will perform one of seven actions and acquire components that are vital in shaping the distinct "mosaic" of your civilization.

Acquiring these components is key to advancing your civilization. They serve as prerequisites for unlocking new technologies and contribute to scoring. By focusing on specific Civilization Components, you might even trigger a 'Golden Age' in that area, giving your civilization a significant advantage.

As your civilization expands throughout the game, scoring cards will be revealed from the four decks. Each time a scoring card appears, your civilization will score points based on the regions you dominate with your cities and military units. After the third scoring card is drawn, players have one final turn before the game ends. Final scoring then occurs, where points are awarded for your cities and towns, wonders, projects, golden ages, and all the unique Civilization Components you've developed.

Mosaic offers a rich and strategic experience, where the careful selection of actions and components will define the legacy of your civilization.
