ABOUT THE GAME
From Year 0, where there are only ruins,
Build a small empire.
Chibilization is a free turn-based city builder that begins in the ruins of a Year 0 civilization. Select buildings with your mouse and advance through the in-game years needed to build and strengthen them, gaining knowledge and resources to expand your empire.
FROM RUINS
First select Town Hall,
Advance the first year of civilization.
In Year 0, clicking on the ruins in the center will display Town Hall construction items. Select the Town Hall and place it in the ruins to advance to Year 1 and open the construction site and the next building candidate.

Use in-game years to build and strengthen
Building buildings and upgrading each element requires multiple in-game years. The author describes this required number of years as the central resource, choosing what to move forward with.
Expand construction candidates from Town Hall
When you build a Town Hall, Villages, Quarries, Schools, and Barracks will be lined up as construction candidates. The required number of years and resource icons for each item are displayed on the screen, and the selected building is placed on the vacant land.
Protect civilization until Year 100
Your goal is to expand your empire, protect it from enemies, and survive until Year 100. Gain knowledge and resources, increase buildings, and connect a hundred years of small civilization.
