How do I stop myself from winning a cultural victory?

[Vibby]

I have 192 out of 206 tourists and I am making 694 tourism per turn. But I want to win a science victory, which I only need twelve turns to win. I keep getting from 1 to 6 more tourists towards victory a turn (i don't really know why that fluxuates), so there is no way I'm going to win a science victory before cultural.

Completely forgot that was a thing.

Gimp yourself the whole game. Do not mess around with culture for that game.

Turns out I cannot. I have too many arts, around forty, for anyone to buy.

Edit: I retract that. The one Civ I tried to sell to was just a ♥♥♥♥.

Well, I was planning on winning a science victory and then reloading my save to win a culture. I dfidn't plan it quite right, and now I'm about to win culture right before I win science.

prepare gifts then

To anyone finding this years later:

Put all your great works in your cities with the most wonders that you don't need, and then give those cities away! Preferably to the civilization that has the most tourists that you haven't attracted yet (if it won’t result in THEM winning, otherwise give them to someone else).

This should greatly shift the tourist focus so that you can resume your other goals. And as an amusing bonus, if the city that you gift them is from deep in your empire, it'll rebel real quickly, so it won't be of much use to them anyway. Then if it rejoins you too quickly, you can just give it away again.

There's always turn off cultural victory before you start. Just tick science only so its the only way to win.
