The only Civilization game i’ve played is Civ V and that was a good while ago, I’ve been looking for an excuse to play it again but I’d rather not play with my friends who manage to get nukes before I’ve even unlocked gunpowder. Either I’m really bad or they’re just ridiculous.

If you’re interested, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is available on Steam now for just £4.99.
