Will I Build a Civilization to Stand the Test of Time?

Much as I love the various Civilization games, I must confess: I'm a terrible player. Throughout my career as a virtual head of state, victories have been few and far between. I continue that ignominious record with Civilization VI; so far, not only have I lost on Settler level difficulty (the easiest), I couldn't even defeat the single enemy found in the tutorial mode. I guess I'm just not cut out for shepherding my people to the promised land... 

Civ Weekend

Although my copy of Civilization VI appeared midweek and I did play for a couple of furtive hours on Tuesday night, I'm devoting this weekend to exploring the highly anticipated game in full as soon as I finish posting here tonight. It astounds me that I played the first Civilization on my Atari 520 ST back in 1992, when Ron and Allan and I were living in the Bleak House of Blahs. I wonder if I'll be around to play Civilization XII in about 50 years...well, not if I sit on my butt all the time playing Civilization, I suppose!
