Civilization: Switch version with some strong features

Civilization 6 was released on October 21, 2016 for the PC and is now available very cheaply. With the port of the game for the Nintendo console, the target audience should be further expanded.The following info is known:

• The release date for the Switch was November 16, 2018.
• Civilization 6 will include a multiplayer mode for up to four players on the Switch.
• In addition, four races DLCs are on board (Vikings, Poles, Persians and Macedonians, Australians).
• Up to date: The game will be equipped with all previous updates.

Since Civilization has always appealed to all age groups and not just strategy experts, success on the Switch should be pre-programmed. The console controls shouldn't be an obstacle: Civilization is exclusively turn-based, so it doesn't require fast actions, and micromanagement only plays a minor role. The Switch controller will cope with these requirements effortlessly. After all, titles like Surviving Mars have shown how well strategy games can work on consoles.
