There are many a guide about- pages and pages and pages and script about buildings and units and terrrain etc. some 10 year old that likes history and is smart but has ADD may be tempted to forgoe all that boring crap and play Call to Duty or something.
How you Win-
Victory conditions- You win the game by Conquest- eliminate all rivals
Domination-you own 75 percent of the worlds population and land mass, Cultural - have 3 cities with 50,000 culture points, Space Race- build space ship parts and launch it afor everyone else, Diplomatic Victory- you build the UN and are elected world leader.
On the top right hand corner of your screen is an icon with a question mark (?) (Civilopedia)
Click that and you can read about anything you want- making the game more fun anyway.
Units and War
Click the question mark icon (Civilopedia) and then "Game Concepts". You will see two categories "Units" and "War" on the list. read them if you want, basically you will get attacked and you need to build units and some are better than others.
Gold- 
Research, 
Espionage and 
Culture
Four Icons on the top left of the screen.
Click the question mark icon and go to "Game Concepts" -"Wealth" it explains Commerce and Wealth -how much gold you generate and have.
"Research"- explains (tied to commerce by the way) Science. You learn new technologies and can build more stuff.
Espionage isn't on the Civilopedia thing so you have to click "Units" and "Spy" to read about it. You can do spy stuff and steal things
Culture-("Game Concepts") A victory condition- on the Civilopedia.
You can manipulate three of these by clicking +/- next to the icon
Each city has icons you can click on or off as well when you double click a city.
this one if clicked adds points to getting one of several different kinds of great person that help out in a variety of ways. (Civilopedia)
I suggest everything else is secondary and you can read about them if you want.
If you play on Multiplayer some opponents will know all the tricks- get a friend pretend you are strangers- gang up and kill them.
