    get her something she really wants and then say that she can't have it until christmas. of course then a compromise is possible...

    (this may of course backfire when she says: ok then)

      whoa

      I was going to see if I could find a gif of someone establishing trade routes... because that's mostly what the game is

      however, I searched for "civbe establish trade route gif" and saw my avatar as the 13th result

      also OP, that sucks
      To us, it is the BEAST.

        Naw, don't over think it.

        Just tell her you have no intention of waiting that long and that you're going to go out and buy the game yourself.

          I don't understand why people can be so impatient to experience a game is unfinished.

            that was my original thought too, but it wasn't his issue so...............

            And for the record, I haven't purchased it yet, and not planning on it in the near future.

              "honey thank you so much for the gift! It's great and it's great you suffer my childish habits sometimes. I'm very happy! But I have to play it NOW! FOr the joy not to turn into a dark muddy feeling that pisses me off, be so kind and go and get it. I love you, you're the best!"
              (of course if she says "no", there's no retort but play it big )

                That might work if you haven't been married forever like some of us.
                For those of us, our wives would be laughing uncontrollably before we even got two sentences into that spiel.

                  Maybe his wife hates civ?

                    Yeah, could be.

                    I will admit that my wife wouldn't be silly enough to believe that I would wait that long for something like that if I told her otherwise.
                    Another reason why we're still married after 25 years.

                        Maybe that's why gifts shouldn't be revealed untill christmas day.
                        Everything is being done for a reason, why screw it up?

                          Download the game - nothing to confiscate.

                            I have the perfect solution! Buy her a copy online and just start playing with that one. If she says anything just say you wanted the two of you to play together. Such lovely family time plus you can start playing now instead of waiting a month.

                              First, my wife is great . She bought me Xcom for last c-mas. (Took me 4 months to play it through once, as playtime for a family man is limited.)

                              Second the thing I could negotiate with is yarn (she knitts, crochet, ...) but as the house is already full of yarn everywhere I just simply couldn't find them all (she has hidden some...) nor could I find a big enough hiding place for them
