I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization.

I actually find the new ones quite good at getting you started, with their dynamic tutorials (I started on 6).

I still missed a lot of stuff that took me several matches to understand, but it explained enough for me to manage the easier difficulties properly and as I learned more about it I started going over to harder challenges.

And even with a thousand hours on Civ6, I ended up having a very similar experience when I started Civ7.
