Originally created by legendary game designer Sid Meier, Civilization is a turn-based strategy game in which you attempt to build an empire to stand the test of time. Explore a new land, research technology, conquer your enemies, and go head-to-head with history's most renowned leaders as you attempt to build the greatest civilization the world has ever known.

And now on Nintendo Switch the quest to victory in Civilization VI can take place wherever, whenever.

Civilization VI for Nintendo Switch includes the latest game updates and improvements and four pieces of additional content which adds four new civilizations, leaders, and scenarios:

  • Vikings Scenario Pack
  • Poland Civilization & Scenario Pack
  • Australia Civilization & Scenario Pack
  • Persia and Macedon Civilization & Scenario Pack

Features:
PLAY YOUR WAY: The path to victory is the one you determine. Become the most scientifically advanced civilization, dominate through sheer military power, or become the foremost destination for the cultural arts.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST LEADERS: Play as one of 24 different leaders from various countries around the world and throughout history. Build an empire of lucrative trade routes with Cleopatra of Egypt, flex the military might of your legions with Trajan of Rome, or develop a powerhouse of culture with Hojo Tokimune of Japan. Each of the leaders can be played any way you prefer, with unique abilities, units, and infrastructure in their quest for victory.

EXPANSIVE EMPIRES: See the marvels of your empire spread across the map. Settle in uncharted lands, improve your surroundings, build new districts, and see your cities - and your civilization - prosper.

ACTIVE RESEARCH: Unlock boosts that speed your civilization's progress through history. To advance more quickly, use your units to actively explore, develop your environment, and discover new cultures.

DYNAMIC DIPLOMACY: Interactions with other civilizations change over the course of the game, from primitive first interactions where conflict is a fact of life, to late game alliances and negotiations.

EXCITING AND UNIQUE SCENARIOS: Civilization VI for Nintendo Switch includes four playable scenarios, each with a different setting and style of gameplay inspired by history. Be part of the colonization of Australia in "Outback Tycoon," defend Poland from invaders in "Jadwiga's Legacy," choose a Viking leader to conquer Europe in "Vikings, Raiders, and Traders!", or conquer the known world in the "Conquests of Alexander."

COOPERATIVE AND COMPETITIVE MULTIPLAYER: Up to 4 players can cooperate or compete for supremacy via a wireless LAN.

Metacritic metascore: 86

Thanks so much for posting! Been waiting for it to go this low for ages!
Great find, also so glad I waited instead of getting a purple triangle for 33 quid from another site.

Argos always sell sealed UK pal, awesome stuff.
Heat!
It's getting close to my biting point!
Wow, great find OP! What are peoples opinions on this? I'm curious how the controller scheme fairs and how laggy is late game?

Yes, its laggy late game. Just like all Civs really. Reducing the map size helps, or the number of civs. The controller scheme is excellent and the game is excellent. It's well worth this price for a portable CIV.
I keep saying it, but honestly its buggy and laggy, but playing this for 6 or 7 hours on a long haul flight was one of the best things I have ever done, made the time fly past! (I had a powerbank)
Instabuy. Was going to wait for longer but this is perfect timing with some working away
SUCH A GOOD GAME - MUST BUY IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY !!!
The best price for this yet. I was waiting ages for this version to come down, and in the end gave up and got the ios version when it was on sale for £9.99! A brilliant game.

Aaaaand purchase.
Its interesting how this is only available on console for the Switch and not the others, why is that?
This is one of those rare games that is so amazing that I had to sell it. It can suck up a lot of hours if you have no discipline (I didn't).

Some times closing the game and restarting clears a lot of the worst lag I was seeing. Reports might be talking about that.

Couple of things imo. 6 was designed with an ipad version in mind (ui changes,art design). Switch version is just an iteration.Also Firaxis probably saw the Xcom 2 sales on console and decided to not to port this one.

Because it was designed as a mobile game and mobil games are easier to port over to the switch. Consoles take more work.
Would be all over this but just got that Astral Chain baby! Can hold for £20 now

Indeed sorry for any confusion. But again buy Astral Chain doods!!!!
I love a bit of Civ
Not laggy at all on my PC with "huge" maps - fantastic game & worth every penny
Bought this but I don't even have a switch!

Getting the Pokemon Switch Lite in November but this deal was too good to pass up.

Have some heat 🔥
Awesome offer, OP, thanks!

I'm hoping that somewhere will price match as I cant get to an Argos and the delivery charge puts it at £30... fingers crossed.
Couldn't resist! Thanks OP!
Been looking everywhere for a newer version of age of empires. Didn’t even know this existed until this post. Found the iOS version of this to try. But chuffed that the switch version of this game is now on sale. Thanks OP:)
Just got my copy. Thanks OP!
Wow WTF this is on the Switch. I might have to get one just for the form factor allowing me to play games like this in more situations. (E.g. the toilet at work)

Do you mean Age of Empires 4? It's still in development with an unknown release date, most likely mid or late 2020.
