I played Civilization IV once. I thought I'd give it a bash to see what all the fuss was about. I ended up sat there in my underwear, utterly infatuated, from breakfast until 7pm in the evening when I finally conceded it was about time for some lunch.
Civilization V continues to be one of the most popular grand-strategy games you can play on Steam, for about three years.

Philip Boyes:
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.
