Sid Meier's Civilization VI

About this game

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is a turn-based 4X strategy game where you guide a civilization from the Stone Age into the Information Age. Expand across the map, explore, research technology and civics, and manage diplomacy, warfare, and culture while competing against historical leaders with their own agendas. Cities now sprawl over multiple tiles, and districts, wonders, and improvements are placed on individual hexes to shape each city’s strengths. You can influence city-states for bonuses, build alliances, negotiate in later eras, and use spies to gather intelligence, steal resources, or undermine rival governments.
