Aspyr announced today a not-to-be-missed holiday giveaway forSid Meier’s Civilization VI for iOS, its premium turn-based strategy video game thatreleased on iPad two years ago.

Downloadable content packs for Civilization VI are sold via the In-App Purchase mechanism, and boy are they pricey. As an example, the new Gathering Storm content pack that dropped a month ago is a $40 download. All of the other content packs are priced at $5 a pop, but there are nearly a dozen of them so it adds up pretty quickly.

Interested in Gathering Storm, the second expansion to the game?

The world around you is more alive than ever before.

Natural disasters like floods, storms and volcanoes can pillage or destroy your Improvements and Districts – but they may also refresh and enrich the lands after they pass. Experience eight new civilizations and nine new leaders. Seven new world wonders can be constructed, as well as a variety of new units, districts, buildings and improvements.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is a freemium download from App Store.

A $20 in-app purchase will upgrade to the full experience so that you can play past the 60 free moves. Keep in mind that the full game unlock does not support Family Sharing.

The game has been updated to support iPhone following its App Store debut.
