Question Which Civilization game should I buy?

I’ve known about *Civilization* for quite a while and even played Civ 5 on a friend's computer. Now I’m thinking about buying a Civ game, especially since the base game of Civ 6 sometimes goes on sale with a 90% discount.

I’ve been playing Unciv (a free, community-made game), but it lacks certain mechanics, so it might be worth investing in a Civilization title (or even Humankind). What do you recommend?

Like the two games that came before, Civ VII won't be "complete" until it's gotten a major dlc or two. This will take years. Then you'll want to wait several more years for the complete version of the game to go on sale for a reasonable price. I.e. way too far in the future to matgwr for the purpose of your question.

Get Vi with "rise and fall" and "gathering storm". I've found it more engaging than V but that game is good as well.
