We currently don't know a ton about Civilization VII, but the series has historically (heh) been a turn-based civilization-builder that pits players against leaders from various civilizations through time. For instance, you might be playing as Cleopatra but going up against Teddy Roosevelt. Additionally, in previous games there are different objectives that you can hit to win. As such, players need to keep an eye on what their opponents are doing so they don't lose the round. It's very likely that the upcoming Civilization VII will be very similar.
Firaxis Games founder and director, Sid Meier himself, came on after the initial teaser trailer to explain that Civilization VII's full reveal will come out later this Summer. We'll be here to cover that when more information is released.
