I also used to be a fan of Sid Meier’s Civilization 2 as a kid, and in a family who moved around a lot. So I was always trying to make new friends, but many weekends I’d be stuck at home… and well, has anybody else tried to play a sane amount of Civ 2 back in the 1990s?
Most often, it didn’t work out.

There is no sane amount when it comes to Civ.

The first time I played it a school friend had managed to get a DOS copy of the first game, We were 17 at the time, in high school and since my dad had a fast PC for work he came home with me to try out the game. He left the next morning at 6:30 AM, just before my parents would get up, to go home for breakfast, and we both went back to school without any sleep.

Civilization wasn't the most addictive though. When I brought 1830, the board game, over to another friend's house we ended up playing it through the night with half his family. Nobody got much sleep that night lol. I had played Risk with them before, got them instantly hooked on 1830 :)
