A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I've played Civ 6 for countless of hours, and I gotta say Unciv managed to hook me up to my phone. It can be played on a potato and yet the gameplay is on par or even better than Civ 6.

Thanks to the devs for it!

Maybe I didn't spend enough time looking at all the controls or something, but I definitely couldn't figure out how to play my first turn in that game.

Might have to look into it and see if I really am just that dumb or what.
