Description Edit | History

This new game by Carl Chudyk is a journey through innovations from the stone age through modern times. Each player builds a civilization based on various technologies, ideas, and cultural advancements, all represented by cards. Each of these cards has a unique power which will allow further advancement, point scoring, or even attacking other civilizations. Be careful though, as other civilizations may be able to benefit from your ideas as well!

To win, you must score achievements, which you can attain by amassing points or by meeting certain criteria with the innovations you have built. Plan your civilization well, and outmaneuver your opponents, and with some luck you will achieve victory!

1 Dividers for Innovation Box - 1st Edition
I use these dividers to help with setup using the expansion. After each game, I can separate age-by-age and then pick the cards from each age deck. I think it's better than having 20 piles on the table.
