And we are already at the 2nd Civ6 GOTM of the year 2023! Since we released this GOTM before the latest leader pack, it does not feature the new Chinese leaders. Instead you will be reigning as Shaka of the Zulu on a standard size hot and arid pangaea map, with sparse resources, but with a lengendary starting position. You need to go for a science victory, and prevent that any other civ reaches another victory type. You have until February 16 to dominate the planet with pure knowledge.
