Sid Meier's Civilization VII is Firaxis' turn-based strategy game, out since February 2025: lead an empire through the Ages, choosing how it evolves or endures, with online and LAN multiplayer and cross-platform play. A multiplayer Civ game takes hours, so who you play with matters more than in any shooter. AnySquad's LFG posts help Civilization VII players find opponents and allies who will finish the game.
Public Civ VII lobbies lose players to quits in the first Age and to turn timers nobody agreed on. A group that sets speed, map, victory types and a schedule in advance — and turns up for the second session — is the only way a long game reaches its end.
Civilization VII is developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K. It has been on Steam since 2025. Multiplayer listed on Steam: online PvP, LAN PvP and cross-platform play. 48% of its 45,336 Steam reviews are positive. It is Verified on Steam Deck.
A duo is the easiest way to play Civilization VII with someone better than a random fill — one person you can actually talk to. For a full squad, post the slots you still need: a post that says what it is missing gets answered faster than a profile that lists what you play.
Civilization VII supports crossplay across every platform it runs on, and posts say which platforms are welcome. If controller or mouse matters to you, say it in your post.
Say how many players you need, when you play, and the one thing you care about — a mic, a rank, a region or just no raging. Leave out the rest: a short post gets answered, a list of requirements gets scrolled past. Once your group is set, close the post.
