For Civilization, for me, is like...

15 turns of interesting decisions and then a time-loss nausea of micro-optimizations that I do not... I just don't... Like, civilization is something that I feel like I just lose months to.

And there are other games...

I mean, rock climbing.

I've been playing.

I mean, Super Smash with my kids is like way richer for me than Civilization.

And I think the key point of the book is, I guess, the dumbest possible message.

If you like Civilization, play Civilization.

If you don't, don't.

Don't optimize for it if the game sucks for you.
