Sid Meier's Civilization IV

Sid Meier's Civilization IV is one great game. A classic of the "god game" genre, Civ4 lets you found and build an empire. You can win Civilization IV thru military dominance, economic/cultural dominance, or just have the high score at the end of the game. Civ4 can be played against the machine or against other people and it is HIGHLY addictive.
Meier's simulation of human history is, for a desktop consumer product, remarkably well thought out and complete. It captures a lot of the macro dynamics of history in a believable way and can teach the willing-to-learn player a lot about resource management, as well as human nature. Civ4 reminds me of some management training sims I played a few years ago that were published by, I think, Harvard Business School, only Civ4 is much more complex.
If you have (vainglorious) fantasies of omnipotence and like high-level strategy and resource allocation puzzles, definitely get a copy of Meier's classic. Civ4 is the most current version for the Mac.
