It bored me too and it was my first Civ. Which one do you recommend for a first timer? I also have a bunch of Anno and Tropico I got free or near free, so any recommendation for the genre would be appreciated.

I played the tutorial, and continued the game for several hours after the tutorial part ended.
I struggled to stay awake. It was by far the most boring slog I have ever experienced in any edition of Civ. (I haven’t played Civ 7, though.)

Best civ is Unciv. FOSS civ 5 with way better performance and a lot of QoL changes

Civ 4 is great.
Civ 5 is mostly great if you add the Brave New World (or maybe Gods and Kings) expansion. My main complaint is that I don’t like how religion affects the mid-late game, but the game is still great overall.
Both can be had for cheap when they go on sale.

Anno 1404 rules and is very playable still. I was never really interested in the series, but that game really got me.

I like Civ 6, but it helps the set it to ‘online’ speed.

From my experience, the first 50-100 turns are kinda boring (unless you’re fighting barbarians) but things get more interesting when you have many cities and things to manage. The game takes a long time to hook me, but when it does it hooks me good. :)
