I’ve been playing the Civilisation games by Sid Meier since they were released. I like them and they let me focus on one thing and ignore everything else.

When you’re playing the game the time rolls on by, you’re playing a few turns and then it’s 9:00pm. It’s a case of just one more turn while I wait for the thing to finish, a district built or a unit moved and then it’s 10:00pm. Positioning things, setting something in motion, just another turn to see it come to fruition and then it’s 11:00pm.

I’m playing Civ VI at the moment. I’m usually a version behind until the latest goes on sale. Clicking on a turn, looking at the time, maybe just one more turn.

I bargain with myself and rationalise one more turn is okay as I will go to bed early tomorrow night.

Like Oliver Twist with his bowl out “Please sir, I want some more.”
