The Civilization board game that gave rise to Sid Meier's Civilization, for instance, includes neither exploration nor extermination. In the board (and card) game domain, 4X is less of a distinct genre, in part because of the practical constraints of components and playing time.
In the new millennium, several 4X releases have become critically and commercially successful. Sid Meier's Civilization is an important example from this formative era, and popularized the level of detail that later became a staple of the genre. Many 4X computer games were published in the mid-1990s, but were later outsold by other types of strategy games. The first 4X computer games were turn-based, but real-time 4X games are common. The earliest 4X games borrowed ideas from board games and 1970s text-based computer games.
Emphasis is placed upon economic and technological development, as well as a range of military and non-military routes to supremacy. The gameplay involves building an empire. 4X (abbreviation of Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate) is a subgenre of strategy-based computer and board games, and include both turn-based and real-time strategy titles.
