2K Games has upped the ante on collector’s editions with its new Civilization 6 Explorer Pack Signature Edition.
The product description on 2K’s website explains just how all the elements of this $199 ode to exploration combine to pay tribute to Civ 6:
“Do you yearn to set out for distant shores and new continents? The fully-functional brass sextant and compass each comes complete with a Civilization VI wood presentation case, and will provide elegant themed decoration for your desk or office. The pen is a mighty weapon for the explorer, and the notebook (bound in 25 pt fiber felt) is convenient for charting your finds. In the event your desk or office goes out to sea beyond the sight of land, these tools can be used to locate your latitude and heading (some additional math will be required on your part at that point.”
So for $199, you get:
A limited signed lithograph signed by living legend Sid Meier himself, as well as dev team leads Ed Beach, Dennis Shirk and Brian Busatti
Functional brass sextant and compass
Two hardwood presentation cases for all your presenting needs
Navigator’s journal and pen
The product page also notes that the sextant and compass are NOT TOYS!!! and NOT FOR KIDS!!!, so tell little Timmy to keep his hands off the brass. As for the navigator’s journal and pen, that looks like the same journal and pen that was part of E3 swag bags, and if so, then it’s a normal journal with unlined pages and what feels like a thin cardboard cover and tie, as well as a nice enough ballpoint pen. So the majority of the dollars spent are going to cover the cost of the brass navigator gear and the signed lithograph.
Only 50 of these expensive and beautiful Civilization VI editions will be available, so hie thyself here to smash that “Add to Cart” button. Oh, and the site’s not clear on whether or not a copy of the game itself is included in that $199 price. For $199 it bloody well ought to be. Womp womp.
