New year, new GOTM! This Game Of The Month has already started during Christmas, but there is still plenty time to help out Santa and his elves!
In this GOTM you play Santa (well, actually the Vikings) on a normal size, but heavily modified Earth2 map on Noble level with cold climate. You start with 2 reindeer (okay, wolfs), and the starting spot is not exactly optimal. You have until January 30 to bring presents to all the other civs on this planet. For more information, please read here.
We got notified via Twitter of this video above, showcasing the best mobile offline games, which you should play in 2023.
A lot of these should be very interesting in case you don’t have Civ on your mobile phone, so check out this video, and discuss it with us here.

This new release has also been covered by PCGamesN.
TurnBasedLovers have taken again a look at one of our beloved classics, Alpha Centauri, and have written now 23 years after its release another review.
