About this game
Civilization has the widest scope of any strategy game of its time.
You are a leader of a nation.

You begin in the Stone Age, and complete the game in the XXIth century (unless your civilization gets destroyed earlier).
Your eventual goal is to become the dominant civilization in the world, either by wiping out everybody else, or being the first to get a space ship to Alpha Centauri.
As the nation's leader, you have many responsibilities.
You have to build cities, and then micromanage them, constructing various buildings.
Most of the people in your cities will be working on the neighbouring lands to get food (without it, your city won't survive or grow), production (used to build military units and buildings) and trade (which can be exchanged for money, science (see below) or luxuries that make people happy.
You decide how much trade you want to invest into each of these areas.) You have to make sure that your people are in a good mood; if they get too unhappy, the city will collapse into disorder, and won't produce anything until you fix the situation.
If you're ambitious, you can build Wonders of the World - epic constructions, such as the Pyramids or the Hoover Dam.
Each Wonder is a unique thing, and only one of each can exist in the world.
They give you a lot of benefits if you complete them, but they take a long time to build, and many of them will eventually stop working.
There are other nations in the world, and there are also barbarians, so you'll have to invest into the military to protect yourself and to attack.
Sure, you can sign peace treaties with other nations, and even exchange scientific knowledge with them (although sometimes they'll demand tribute from you), but eventually you'll probably have to fight.
You control each of your military units on the world map, attacking your opponents' units and cities (possibly taking over them).
Not all units are for combat though.
Settlers are used to build cities, create roads (for easier travel of your units)
About Commodore Amiga
The Commodore Amiga (1985) was ahead of its time technically — multitasking, custom graphics and sound chips — and built a passionate following in Europe in particular, where it rivaled and often outsold contemporary consoles. Amiga collecting today is a niche but dedicated hobby: original boxed software on floppy disk is comparatively scarce since floppies degrade, making well-preserved complete copies genuinely valuable to the right collector.
Gamevaro tracks Civilization for Commodore Amiga with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Civilization to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This AMIGA release dates back to 1991.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Civilization has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
