Civilization 7 Could Be the Crown Jewel of a Grand Strategy Game Resurgence

A video game genre that stemmed from an old military tactician exercise, the grand strategy genre has technically been around for hundreds of years, though it first made it to the video game landscape in the early 1980s with games like Colonial Conquest and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. While strategy games can cover a vast array of titles, from city-management games to turn-based military shooters, the grand strategy genre is often defined by its larger scale, often letting players control entire nations across whole continents, the world, or even space. And when it comes to grand strategy games, there are few quite as renowned as Civilization.
