  Civilization 6 is the most recent version of Sid Meier's Civ series, released October 2016. Now it has really wonderful graphic, but at the cost of super cool video card, HDD space and processor. New resources, races and concepts are also presented. But someone said it, it is now "Just one more game", instead of "Just one more turn". It is no secret civ is trying to become casual game, played by almost everyone. Back in time, to play Civilization game, the player needed a lot of knowledge, practice, patience, strategic thinking and of course free time.
