Get the award-winning Sid Meier’s Civilization VI and its expansion pack starting at $23

The band Tears for Fears said it best: Everybody wants to rule the world. Of course, the coolest thing about the ridiculously popular Sid Meier’s Civilization video game series is that ruling the world is just one of your game goals.

For a series that’s sold a gazillion copies (actually, just over 35 million, to be exact) and is currently chugging toward its 30th anniversary, it’s the complexity and intricacy of how you actually achieve that world mastery that truly matters. You can find out by plunging head-first into the latest installment, Civilization VI for $22.95, Civilization VI: Rise and Fall for $22.95, and Civilization VI Bundle for $48.45 with coupon code “SAVE15NOW” from TNW Deals.

If you’re one of the 5 or 6 people who have never played a Civilization game before, Civilization VI is all about building the biggest, baddest, bestest world there is. You’re a budding ruler with a tiny settlement and a handful of Stone Age resources, then you get to world-making. As you face off against AI and real world opponents, you improve your empire through technological innovation, infrastructure improvements, revolutionary political practices and, of course, fighting the occasional war or two.
