I’m pretty sure quite a few folks have “taken a trip to Florida” for a couple months after setting down to a play session of Sid Meier's revered culture-building sim."
Civilization V continues to be one of the most popular grand-strategy games you can play on Steam, for about three years.

When I was a kid, I played a lot of Civilization 2. I played a lot of strategy games in general, but having a deep love of both history and sci-fi, the epic sweep of Civ 2 from prehistory to the stars held a particular appeal. I loved taking my little people from their huts and ziggurats to the world of science and advanced space-flight.
