If you're a Netflix subscriber, an avid gamer, and a fan of history, today's your lucky day. That's because Sid Meier's Civilization VI, the critically acclaimed grand strategy game that lets you rule the world as famous figures from throughout history, is now available on the Netflix Games catalogue.
Civilization VI needs little introduction, but for those new to the series, here's a quick overview. This latest installment in the iconic 4X franchise allows you to step into the shoes of renowned historical leaders, guiding your chosen civilization from the Stone Age to the modern era.
