Clash of Cultures Officially Announced by Z-Man Games
Board Game: Clash of Cultures
Z-Man Games has officially announced Christian Marcussen's Clash of Cultures, and while the announcement did not come with a release date, Sophie Gravel from Filosofia – which owns Z-Man – has previously stated on BGG that the game will be released before the end of 2012.

As for the announcement, here (lightly edited) is what's posted on the Z-Man Games news page:

Quote:
The whole team at Z-Man Games has been working hard to get this game ready for its big release. This game is big, really big! So big, we can't talk about it in only one post! Clash of Cultures is a box FILLED with figurines, with tons of pieces to build your cities, and a few smiley faces.

This time, Christian Marcussen gives us a civilization game, with his own personal twist! Contrarily to other civilization games, in Clash of Cultures you do not portray any given culture, nor does it depict historical events. History is not influencing the game; you are writing your own story, building your own civilization. You can clearly see this in the sketch for our box top [posted above right] that was designed by Chris Quilliams (Merchants & Marauders); different societies that didn't exist in the same time period can coexist in Clash of Cultures.

You will discover, in the weeks to come, that there are multiple ways to play Clash of Cultures. Each player will want to concentrate on different aspects than the others, which will change the dynamic of the game every time!

More to come about Clash of Cultures next week!
Heaping piles of speculation, with bits of solid info scattered within, await your discovery on the game's page here on BGG...
