It's a great experience, and you will lose track of time. There are 40 factions to choose from, and many options that give a crazy amount of replayability. There are several ways to win (culture, domination, science, etc) that let you play wide or tall and still succeed. If strategy games that make you agonize over opportunity cost are appealing then Civ is a good choice. Personally I love games like this that keep my brain so engaged, constantly planning, making decision after decision. It's really quite engrossing.



Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check out the Steam page for CIV 6.
