One game that typifies the theme of engagement is Civilization. For 25 years, Sid Meier’s turn-based strategy game has been engaging gamers the world over.  Sid, one of the founders of Firaxis Games, is the legendary designer behind many strategy games including Pirates!, Railroad Tycoon, and F19 Stealth Fighter but of all of his games, none has been as memorable and successful as Civilization.  Join Sid and Susanna Pollack, President of Games for Change, for a fireside chat to close the first day of the G4C Festival.
