Civitas has raised $20 million in funding for a 4X strategy game on the blockchain. 

Directive Games is building the game and working on a community-driven, collaborative, city-building game dubbed Civitas. The Civitas game is owned by a decentralized autonomous organization (SubDAO), and players can be part owners of the SubDAO. The SubDAO raised the money through a token sale for its CITI tokens.
