You move an icon of an Egyptian to a game selected spot on the cloud covered map and wait. a few turn later it reveal the map with icons for crops, and hammers? then your icon goes back to it's little box and waits for you to move it to another spot already selected for you and wait.
Repeat above and repeat above and you discovered a tribe. you have options. However, the consequences and costs are not known. so, being the nice guy that I am, I want to negotiate peace. now I get a message over and over again saying we don't have the resources to negotiate with the tribe. When I click on the message, I get a close or go to button. the go to, puts me over the tribe, and I see the hammer icon and in red is 15. Now my ambassador needs more hammers? how do I get them? No clues (this is the first of the beginner scenarios), and the game offers nothing in the way of help.
Next, while all the above continues, I have a tribe that has found me, and they want to attack. I have x turns to persuade them not to. I have no idea where they are. The game offers a couple of options that I have no idea how to do, and of course, the game and the guys who made it are no help at all.
During all the above, you're also doing research. you have 3 options. finish one, now you have 2 remaining two options, then the one, then 3 again then 2 again then the one remaining until the game gives you 3 options again. Exciting as watching paint dry.
At some point during all this, you get the OPTION to multiply. That's right, you have birth control. I guess that crocodile dung thing archeologist tell us about actually worked? It's just weird.
I don't get the purpose? is it to figure out how the game works? It's not fun to me. It's not entertaining, it's not educational, it's not challenging as I don't find it involving, it's not thought provoking, and it's not pretty. What can the purpose possibly be? My $5? Then they got me.
