Gentes is an interesting civilisation game with an innovative timing mechanism

“Gentes” is the Latin plural word for greater groups of human beings (e.g., tribes, nations, people; singular: “gens”). In this game, players take the role of an ancient people who are attempting to develop by building monuments and colonising or founding new cities in the Mediterranean sea.

Obtain a permanent place in the annals of time by guiding your population through the ups and downs of history. Choose the best path to victory while optimising your use of time. In order to win, you will need to harness the capabilities of individuals from all classes of society. Gentes contains a clever timing mechanism that will require you to balance a multitude of different tactical decisions.
