What are Succession Games (SGs)?
Succession Games are casual single player games of Civilization played with multiple people (usually 5 or 6). They acquired their name because, after creating the game, the players play in succession. For example, after posting a thread in the Succession Game forum and having a few people sign up, the game begins, and one person sets up the game, plays the first turns (usually 20), and then posts the save. The next person picks up that save and plays it (usually for 10 turns from here on out), posts it, and the cycle continues until they win or lose. In a SG, you are also required to keep a log of your turns so that the others who aren’t playing the save know what went on. To see examples, look at old SG threads, but it’s usually something like: “Turn 0, 4000 BC: Founded Paris on starting tile, starting production of a warrior, worker moved onto river grassland”. A SG is a great way to learn the game of Civilization as well as improve your game, as you are only responsible for 10 turns
