The release day of Civilization n is always the best time to buy and play Civilization n-1.

Also when all DLC have been released, bundled into one package, and on sale for at least 50% off.

Like now, where Civ VI Anthology which I think includes all the DLC is currently on sale for $9 on Fanatical (activates on Steam). It's always much cheaper to game a generation behind.

Civ 6 was free on Epic a couple of years ago. And free for keeps, I mean. That was the best time to get it.

But you had to install the Epic installer!

That was the cost, of course. Nothing is ever entirely free.

Got a good deal on Civ6 a month ago, and it's free on Netflix too with all DLC
