Civitas

Civitas: The Government Card Game is a card game that teaches students how different forms of government work. Pass laws, solidify your leadership, and rule the table in a smart, fast-paced game for ages 10 and up. Compare and contrast the eight different government decks:

“A hands-on way to learn how different governments operate while having fun—just what a homeschool mom loves. The fact that my college kids come home and love playing with their siblings…bonus points.”
—Stacey Lane, Layered Soul

“Got to say that we thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a winner. It kept everyone (of all ages) engaged constantly in the game.”
—Hal and Melanie Young, Raising Real Men

“Civitas is an engaging way to immerse yourselves in forms of government. Not only do you get to behave as a government would, you get to do it in a fun, fast paced card game with multiple rounds.”
