Innovation is an expert card game that has become a cult classic for its ability to generate totally unpredictable games with impressive strategic depth. In this game by Carl Chudyk, each player builds their civilization by developing technologies, ideas, and discoveries across the ages of humanity. Behind its apparent simplicity – only cards – lies a battle of exceptional richness where game engines, opportunism, and constant interactions intertwine. No board, no classic resources: only your cards... and the ability to transform a fragile position into total domination.

How to Play Innovation

Game Setup

  • Each player starts with a few cards representing the early ages of humanity.
  • The cards serve as your technologies, special abilities, symbols of power, and conditions for advancement. As the game progresses, your play area evolves into a unique, personalized civilization.

Gameplay outline

  • On your turn, you generally have several options: playing a new innovation, activating a capacity, drawing, or developing your civilization.
  • Each card has an effect called Dogma, which often dramatically alters the game's rules. Some cards accelerate your development, while others allow you to use opponents' resources, exchange cards, completely disrupt the pace, or even set back other civilizations.
  • One of the game's signature features is its card overlaysystem: by partially covering certain cards, you expose more symbols and unlock new synergies.
  • The further you progress through the ages, the more powerful and unpredictable the effects become.
  • This 4th editionbrings several balancing adjustments, reworked cards, and the addition of an Age 11, designed to extend certain development trajectories and offer more twists and turns in the late game.

Win/Loss Condition

  • To win, you must accumulate enough Achievements before the other players.
  • These Achievements can be obtained through points generated by your civilization or via specific conditions related to the cards and strategies developed.

Our Tips for Winning

  • Don't build too rigid an engine

    Innovation rewards adaptation more than perfect planning.

  • Always look at the visible symbols

    Icons control a lot of the interactions in the game.

  • Use opposing Dogmas to your advantage

    Sharing certain actions can become a weapon.
