Graphically, it's also similar to Civilization II, however the interface was adapted for device' much smaller screen size and resolution, as well as for its cell phone-like keyboard.
The goal of the game is the same -- to advance your society from the stone age to the space age, destroying your opponents or signing diplomatic treaties on the way.
There are twenty one different civilizations to choose from, and generally the list of features is the same.
There's a full Civilopedia and tutorial available as well.
Unlike most of other N-Gage titles, there are no multiplayer features in Civilization.
About Nokia N-Gage
Nokia's N-Gage (2003) was an ambitious attempt to combine a mobile phone with a dedicated gaming device, but an awkward "sidetalking" phone design and a small, expensive game library led to commercial failure within a couple of years. That short lifespan and low adoption make complete N-Gage games — sold on small MMC memory cards rather than traditional cartridges — a genuinely obscure and hard-to-find collecting niche today.
Gamevaro tracks Civilization for Nokia N-Gage 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 NGAGE release dates back to 2006.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Civilization, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nokia N-Gage titles.
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.
