Civilization (series)

Imagine creating your very own world! That's what Sid Meier and his friends do with the Civilization games. They started making these games a long, long time ago, back in 1991.

Sid Meier is like the head chef of this amazing game recipe. He has helped make most of the games, and his name is even in the title sometimes, like 'Sid Meier's Civilization VII'. These games are so popular, they've sold over 70 million copies, which is more than all the kids in the whole world!

In Civilization, you get to be the boss of a whole country! You start with just a few people and a little village. Every turn, you decide what to do.

Do you want to explore new lands, build more houses, find cool new ideas like the wheel, or maybe even build a spaceship? You can also trade with other players or, if you have to, have a little friendly competition. It's like playing with history, but you get to change it!

There are lots of ways to be the best! You can win by being super strong and having the biggest army, or by making your cities so beautiful and full of art that everyone wants to visit. Sometimes, you can even win by building a spaceship to fly to the stars.

Newer games let you win with clever trading or by making everyone in the world believe in your special religion. It's all about being smart and planning ahead!

The Civilization games are like a growing tree. Each new game has some old favorite parts, some parts that are made even better, and lots of brand-new surprises! Sometimes, you can even download extra fun stuff to add to your game.

The people who make these games are super talented. Some of them even went on to make other famous games, like Age of Empires and Rise of Nations. It's a whole world of strategy games!
