Sid Meier’s Civilization Series
The Civilization series is the gold standard of turn-based strategy. Choose a leader, guide your civilization from the Stone Age to the Space Age, and do whatever it takes to outlast your rivals—through war, diplomacy, culture, religion, or just plain stubbornness. Explore randomly generated worlds, research tech trees that branch like wild ivy, and yell at the screen when your allies backstab you for the 20th time.
Each game is a 4X masterclass: eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate—though let’s be real, most games end in total world domination or a passive-aggressive cultural victory.
Whether you’re a peaceful builder or a warmongering maniac, Civ lets you play history your way… and then rewrite it with rocket ships and opera houses.
