Civ VI Monthly Challenge: Civpocalypse

The new monthly challenge for Sid Meier's Civilization VI starts on December 10, and can be attempted on Prince or Emperor difficulty!

Each limited-time monthly challenge affords you an opportunity to test your skills as a specific leader in a unique scenario. The first time you successfully complete a challenge, you'll earn yourself a new in-game Hall of Fame Badge commemorating your impressive achievement!
To play the current monthly challenge, go to the main menu in-game and click on the "Challenge of the Month" image in the rotating marquee for your desired difficulty level. Note that if you don't own any of the DLC featured in the current challenge, you will be granted free trial access to it for use in the challenge so you won't miss out!

CHALLENGE 14: Civpocalypse

Duration: December 10 - January 15

In the latest Monthly Challenge, disaster strikes—again and again and again! As Tamar, ensure that Georgia can withstand whatever natural disasters and raging barbarian hordes come your way. As things get increasingly dire, you'll have to decide if you want to befriend other civs in a bid for shared survival or leave them to their own fate. With each passing turn, the cavalcade of catastrophes will only worsen; how long can you hold out?
