I've played like 500+ hours of Civ Revolution on the PS3.  I really like this streamlined version of Civ.  But getting any Civ game at all on a console is a big enough deal that I have to give Civ 6 a try.  Also my wife has played about 5000+ hours of Civ Revolution.  She says that she won't try a more complex version, but I bet if she sees me playing then she won't be able to resist.

In case neither of you have ever played CIV 5/6 they're both a lot more streamlined than previous mainline games, and for that reason 5 was the first one I really liked. Definitely more complex than revolutions but I think they're quite easy to pick up and user friendly, unlike IV.

Sounds like Civ 6 is a good version.

I've only played Civ 1, 2 and Revolution.  I'm pretty sure Civ 6 is more complex than Civ 2, but the main thing I liked about Revolutions was the game was much shorter.  I could complete a whole game in a couple of hours.  With the PC games I typically would start in the early afternoon, then I would look up at the clock and suddenly it was after midnight.  I had a lot of fun, but it ate up all of my time.  

I kind of expect Civ 6 to be more like that, but I will give it a try and just have to watch my time more carefully.  The complexity is what would bother my wife, but I think once she sees me playing it, she will get sucked in too.
