Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is a captivating turn-based strategy video game developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K. As the latest instalment in the esteemed Civilization series, it made its debut on Windows and macOS in October 2016.
Civilization VI expands upon the core gameplay of its predecessor, Civilization V, while also introducing the hex-based grid system from the previous game.
A notable addition in Civilization VI is the concept of “city unstacking”, where certain city improvements are placed in hexes within the city’s boundaries, rather than directly within the city itself. In previous games, all improvements were considered to be stacked on the same hex or square as the city.
Dan Stapleton from IGN praised the game’s “overwhelming number of systems” and described it as “like a Civ game that’s already had two expansions.”
