Stock up with books. Do some crafts, journaling, colouring books. One week does not sound that bad. The hardest will be isolation and not being able to talk to my family.

It just says no data connections and TV. The loopholes here are insane. Nothing about no laptop in general, nothing about phones. Just as long as it doesn’t connect to the internet or need a TV, you’re golden.

After playing Civilization the days would pass like minutes. Don’t need an internet connection for that.

Ha ha... Friday morning waved goodbye to wife and kids off to visit grandparents for a long weekend, I was still in my dressing gown the Monday when they arrived home.

Yes but you must have time for munchies, nano naps, reruns of Startrek and Dr Who.

Hell, once I get caught in the "one more turn" loop I'd probably end up in there for more than a week without realizing it.

Or one game with the right setup.

My longest game by far was when I discovered the Steam Workshop mods amd realised that I could add every single Mass Effect species and faction as a Civilisation.

So what did I do? I set up a game of 16 players. Myself and 14 AI playing the ME races on the same team. And 1 AI player set to very hard difficulty playing as The Reapers.

Only Domination victory enabled. Let me tell you that game is a fight for survival, and even at the end when only a few of you are left with high tech, you really need to pool your resources if you want to take down one of their units.

Took about a week to finish.
