Like other entries in the award-winning Civilization series before it, Sid Meier's Civilization VI challenges you to build an empire to stand the test of time. Playing as one of 20 leaders in the base game with different perks and abilities, you guide your chosen civilization from the Stone Age to the Information Age.
