I don't know what it is exactly but it is possible to kill a lot of time playing this thing without noticing how fast the time passes. The game is not as easy as it first looks so there is a definite challenge presented. On the other hand the game mechanics are pretty repetitive albeit the situations that develop are each unique. I bought it on a lark as it didn't cost much, had decent reviews online, and I was bored with Guild Wars 2. I wouldn't pay a lot for it but if you can get it cheap (mine was less than $20 new) it is an OK investment.

fantastic idea, but couldn't get it to work in real time. too much data to process on my laptop, and I have a rather fast and large memory model. Maybe I was just spoiled by years of Evony online.

Great version of the classic game. As a player of previous versions, took a little getting used to the importance of accumulating culture and faith points. And boy: this game punishes you for conquering. You can still do so, but you definitely pay the price for occupying cities, so it requires more thought. Indeed, the game gives you a push to try for other victories (culture, science, diplomacy). It was frustrating at first to be punished for conquest, but I wound up appreciating that. Even the screaming sounds when you attack cities makes you feel ashamed of conquest. In sum, I appreciated the less warlike nature of this edition of Civ.
