2K announced yesterday that a Civilization VI demo is now available on Steam. Here's what's inside the Civilization VI demo:

　　You’ll have the option to play as Qin Shi Huang on a fixed map with America, Egypt and Sumeria. You will also have the option to play the Civilization VI tutorial, which features Sumeria and Egypt. Both options are locked at 60 turns, and once you’ve reached the conclusion of the demo you will have the option to purchase Civilization VI or you can play the demo or the tutorial again. There is no limit to how many times you can play the demo.

　　For newcomers to Civilization VI and the Civilization franchise, we have put together a list of our top 10 tips that will help you build your empire and face early challenges like barbarians. You can access our Beginner’s Guide right here.

　　The good news doesn't stop here, though. 2K also just began its publisher sale on Steam and as a result, should you enjoy the Civilization VI demo, you'll be able to get the game with a 20% discount until 10AM PST on March 20th.

　　Civilization VI received very high praise in our review by Chris, who rated the game 9.5/10.

　　Civilization VI is the pinnacle of the series. It's featured huge, sweeping changes, and nothing was left out. Everything has found a purpose, they all work together in tandem but also have a reason to stand alone. Only slight AI issues can be found here, but nothing every other 4X or Grand Strategy game hasn't encountered on a worse level. Civilization VI is, frankly, the best 4X strategy game in the world.
