Until tomorrow at 11 AM EDT, you can get Civilization VI for free through Epic Games. I've never played a Civ game (we were an Age of Empires family when I was growing up), but this seems like it could be a good opportunity to satisfy the curiosity.
While I am increasingly uncomfortable with the kind of cloud-dependence and DRM (read: anti-backup measures) involved in these kinds of game launchers, it's not like one is risking much of anything by claiming this game. If they revoke it later or their infrastructure collapses, I'm no worse off than before.
