Civilization VI is out on iPad

If you're looking for a way to avoid talking to your family for the entire holiday, then good news, because Sid Meier's Civilization VI just came out for iPad.

Unusually for a mobile title, Civ VI costs a whopping $60! However, there's a special launch discount that allows you to pick it up for just $30.

It's also worth emphasizing that this is the real, proper Civ VI that is usually PC and Mac only, except it's on iPad. That means you're getting a huuuuge game for your money, something that could potentially keep you occupied for years and has tremendous depth.

Originally developed by Firaxis and ported across to iPad by Aspyr, this version of Civ VI makes few compromises, losing the odd animation and strategic view mode, but otherwise keeping everything we had in the main game.

You can also install it for free and try it out for 60 turns before having to take the plunge, so why not give it a go?
