proper noun Civi

slang Civilization, a turn-based strategy video game from 1991 (and various sequels) in which the player attempts to build and maintain an empire throughout history. If you have played Civ before then, you already know what I am talking about. If you haven't, then what are you waiting for?
slang Civilization, a turn-based strategy board game from 1980. Everyone I have ever played Civ with would laugh out loud at that statement. I guess we're all doing something wrong. Then again, considering that this is the one card everyone seems to hate, and many people count cards to avoid, perhaps you're the one who's wrong.

noun Civs · Civi

slang A civilization, any of various empires in the Civilization games. Is it really good to have so many Civs close together?
