What's wrong with current BBGs?

I for one am very curious to see how the Facebook version of Civilization pans out. It is supposedly in closed beta. I am an avid fan of the series, and the developers are (in my humble opinion) among the best game designers out there. So it will be very instructive to see how they make a turn-based single player (or hot-seat) game like Civ transition into a 100-player-per-game Facebook app.
