What Is Civilization VII?

**Sid Meier's Civilization VII** is the latest entry in a strategy game series that originated in 1991, developed by Firaxis. As a player, you select a historical leader to guide your civilization to global dominance. You can construct cities, erect architectural marvels, and expand your empire through conquest or cooperation.

The game offers flexibility in how you guide your civilization's development, allowing for both historically accurate paths and imaginative, unique journeys.
