Innovation 3e Edition (pré-joué) (EN)

The games in the L'As des jeux Bazar are pre-played games. They have been inspected by one of our game experts and are certified "Complete." You may find some minor imperfections, such as light wear on the box or on certain game components.

Travel through time and guide your civilization from the Stone Age all the way to the Internet in Innovation, a strategy card game by Carl Chudyk. From The Wheel and Clothing to Gunpowder, Democracy and Satellites, every great human breakthrough becomes a card with a unique power. Some let you race through the ages faster, others build your infrastructure, and many let you attack your rivals directly.

There are no maps or pieces to move around: the cards carry all of the action and all of the scorekeeping. Through the Dogma action you unleash your cards' powers, but beware, opponents with enough icons can share in your ideas or resist your demands. You splay your colors, reveal hidden icons and juggle points, achievements and clever attacks. The first player to gather enough achievements wins the game.

Innovation's greatest strength is its replayability: every game takes a different shape depending on the cards that come out. Long-term planning often gives way to sharp tactical opportunism, which makes every decision thrilling.

Innovation is for you if you love clever, tense card games full of interaction, where a single great combo can flip the table. You will appreciate the strategic depth packed into a compact box you can take anywhere.

This third edition brings new illustrations, a graphic redesign and several rebalanced cards (including Oars, Fermenting, Feudalism, Measurement, Societies, Statistics, Industrialization, Combustion and Fission) for a refined experience. The game also won the 2010 Golden Geek Award for Best Card Game, a distinction that confirms its status as a genre classic.

Designed by Carl Chudyk, an author known for interaction-rich card games such as Glory to Rome and Mottainai, Innovation perfectly showcases his taste for original card powers and unpredictable games.
