A Korean civilization Hwacha when attacking.

Civilization III: Play the World, released in 2002, is the first expansion pack for the award winning game Sid Meier's Civilization III. Play the World added some civilizations from the original game, a new multiplayer feature, new Wonders of the World, new units, and new game modes, including elimination, regicide, and capture the flag.

Play the World (PTW) was generally poorly received. The main feature, multiplayer, was extremely buggy and slow. Most issues were worked out in the second expansion Conquests (C3C) which led many to regard Conquests as the expansion that Play the World was supposed to have been.

Civilization III: Play the World can also be found on Civilization III: Gold which includes the original Civilization III and Play the World. Civilization III: Play the World is also found on the new Civilization III: Conquests expansion.
