(DEAD) Sid Meier's Civilization VI (Switch) - $19.99 at Best Buy (in store); $29.99 online

I've had no issues with it on the switch. When you play for long sessions the frame rate can bog down but a simple and save and quit reset will fix it.
 
I really wanted to like this game more, but if you haven’t had a ton of Civ experience or at least lately, it has a very intense learning curve. I didn’t even find the tutorial helpful at all on the game and eventually just frustratingly gave up. I was excited from the time this was announced as these games are great for portability. I was just disappointed that it didn’t do more in the beginning to help a returning player.

However if you were going to get this, yup, the price is right and has not been lower yet on the Switch!!
 
I am planning on picking up a copy (or 2) depending on the answer to this question.  I know that there is no online multiplayer but I heard there is local multi-system multiplayer.  Is this true?  How hard is it to do?   

Can you just pop in two copies in two systems and easily start playing together?   

Any insight for a complete newbie to this game would be appreciated!

 
I've been playing it for a few weeks on the Switch. The only issues with performance would be long wait times for the AI to make turns in the late game and long loading times but these are the same issues you would encounter on PC (and the suspend feature negates the loading time issue for the most part).

I do wish the DLC would get ported, but for anyone new to this version there is already a lot to get used to with the new district and wonder placement mechanics. The tutorials could stand to be a lot more detailed but after a game you have a much better sense of what to expect.

 
Thanks everyone for the updates that in store this is still $19.99.  Hopefully it stays that way for another day or two.
