Sick of your social life? Why not play a few games like Civilization?

Nothing has made us lose more sleep than Sid Meier’s Civilization franchise. Thanks to its ridiculously addicting turn-based strategy, the phrase “just one more turn” has become an indelible part of the PC gamer culture. You just aren’t the same after playing a Civilization game.

Good news is, there are lots of other strategy games out there that have the same kind of appeal, not to mention the potential to keep us glued to our computers until our eyes bleed. And so we’ve compiled a list of the Top 10 Games Like Civilization – games you’ll love, if you, like us, adore Civilization to bits.

10. Endless Space

Beautiful starships or kitchen appliances?

Looking for games like Civilization that are set in space? Dive into Endless Space, and expand your empire beyond the stars!

The year is 3000. You select one of nine civilizations – each with its own unique strengths and abilities – then attempt to establish an interstellar empire. From a single space system, you extend your reach to the rest of the galaxy. There are technologies to research and ships to unlock, and you’ll even be able to recruit powerful hero units you can level up, RPG-style.

Like Civilization, victory can be achieved through several means, namely warfare, diplomacy, or economic supremacy.
