We draft two original civilization board games with only $30 and 10 rounds, forcing bold choices on theme, mechanics, designer, art, publisher, box size, player count, and length. One becomes an insect super-civ of tech and diplomacy, the other a two-player city builder about climate resilience.

• rules of the $30, 10-round Civ game draft
• insect colony vs environmental adaptation sub-themes
• tech trees and diplomacy vs resource management and city building
• designer picks and why reputation matters
• art direction choices that support readability and mood
• publisher fits and expectations for production and support
• box size, player count, and runtime trade-offs
• final builds, table presence, and playstyle visions
• listener poll to pick the winning design
