I think this is your cue to develop a Civilization board game. Tell Sid Meier he needs to be prepared for the fact that electricity will stop working. |
Well, there is the original boardgame Civilization, which is said to be an inspiration for Sid's computer game. Then there are two adaptations of his computer game to boardgame format, with the second very highly regarded (the first a mixed bag):

And there is the likes of Through the Ages which is inspired by the boardgame (click on link above) for info on that. And there are more multiple others, like 7 Wonders and Rise of Empires that are like Civ, but play faster.
Pretty much, I am less inclined to work in this area, because many attempts have been done for it that I am fairly satisified with, and don't feel can be improved upon. I say this because Civ is one of my all-time favorite games. Games went from MULE (Still would like the original) to Simcity to Railroad Tycoon to then Civilization. As it is now, Civ has never really been topped for me.
And none of the boardgames were designed by Sid, just based on his designs, or inspired by them, so I don't count them as SId's actual designs. No electricity means nothing Sid worked on ever is playable.
