What Is Civilization VII?

Sid Meier's Civilization VII, from Firaxis Games, continues the legacy of the iconic strategy series, first launched in 1991. Lead a historical leader, build cities, create architectural marvels, and expand your empire through conquest or diplomacy. A key new feature: you'll play as different civilizations across three distinct Ages (Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern), with only your chosen leader carrying over between eras.
