CIVILIZATION VI GIVE AWAY 

 

 

@Th3eRaz3r is hosting a give-away of Sid Meier’s CIVILIZATION VI 

He’s picked a historical date.  If you can guess the historical date in the comments below, you’ll be gifted: 

A Digital Deluxe version of Sid Meier’s CIVILIZATION VI via STEAM; 
a $79.99 USD value. 

• Only one copy will be gifted. 

• You can make three guesses. 

• You must have a STEAM account to win. 

• You must be an ADK member in good standing to participate. 

• The drawing ends at midnight, October 31, 2016. 

 

If no one guesses the correct historical date, then the person with the historical date (not including the year) that is closest** will be gifted a regular edition of Sid Meier’s CIVILIZATION VI via STEAM; a $59.99 USD value.

**Example: If the historical date was September 2, 1945, the day that marked the surrender of the Japanese to the Allied Forces and the end of WWII, then the guess September 4 1886, the date of Geronimo’s surrender to US forces, would win over December 7 1941, the attack on Pearl Harbor, even though 1886 further apart chronologically from the 1940s.

Winners who have already pre-ordered or purchased a copy of CIVILIZATION VI will be gifted the value of their winnings via STEAM or PayPal.

Yes, to clarify, it is any significant historical world date; not limited to the US.

[BookD20 1,245]

Respectfully acknowledging that the game releases "October 21 2016".  Not guessing in the hopes that I'll win but rather for fun (especially since my dates haven't been guessed yet!!) -- I'd rather a community member won the prize than an admin.

 

Guesses:

October 21st 1944 - WW2, US troops capture Aachen, the first large German city to fall.

July 21 1969 - Apollo 11 lands Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon - with Mr. Raz3r watching.

Feb 15, 1946 - Introduction of the ENIAC computer, the beginnings of what now controls our world!

I wanted to use Space Invaders instead of Pong but 1978 isn't specific enough.  Fun fact: Space Invaders is considered to be what ushered in the Golden Age of Arcade Video Games.
