Innovation
Innovation is Carl Chudyk's tableau-builder of infinite possibilities, taking you on a journey from pre-history all the way to the present...and the near future! In this game, you build a civilization using only cards; there's no map, no tokens, no dice, no pieces. The game's 105 innovations — or in the fourth edition, 115 innovations — are each represented by a card with a unique effect, organized into ten (or eleven) ages. Each innovation's effect is tied thematically to its identity, allowing you to either elevate your society or attack your opponents.
What is Innovation
Innovation is Carl Chudyk's tableau-builder of infinite possibilities, taking you on a journey from pre-history all the way to the present...and the near future! In this game, you build a civilization using only cards; there's no map, no tokens, no dice, no pieces. The game's 105 innovations — or in the fourth edition, 115 innovations — are each represented by a card with a unique effect, organized into ten (or eleven) ages. Each innovation's effect is tied thematically to its identity, allowing you to either elevate your society or attack your opponents.
In addition to directly affecting your opponents, you can share in the effects of their technologies if you amass enough visible icons on your board. Strategically building your tableau of cards to share often and defend against demands is crucial to success.
To win, you must claim achievements, which you can attain by amassing points or by meeting certain criteria with the innovations you have built. No two games of Innovation play the same way.
[Admin note: The specific card effects have changed across the four editions of Innovation, in addition to age 11 being added in the fourth edition, but the core gameplay has remained consistent across all editions, so all editions are listed on a single page in the database.]

What the community says about Innovation
* En la caja de Tzaar
Juego combero de cartas en el que los jugadores compiten por ser los primeros en controlar 5 grupos de cartas (hay diez grupos). Los combos se consiguen a partir de los símbolos de las cartas. Tiene la particularidad de que alguna acción puede ser aprovechada también por los contrincantes, si tienen el número de símbolos correspondientes. Parecía chulo, pero no tengo muy claras las reglas.
Part of the Deluxe Edition.
Innovation es un juego con cartas, hermano de Gloria a Roma, en el que se "desarrolla" la civilización humana de manera muy abstracta y condensada en 1h. de juego con 105 cartas para representar el recorrido a través del árbol tecnológico humano (desde la agricultura y la rueda hasta la bomba nuclear). El objetivo se logra principalmente dominando eras (varía su nº en función de los participantes). Para ello, hay que llevar cartas a nuestra zona de puntuación y estos puntos se usarán para lograr dominar determinada era (10 en cada partida desde la prehistoria hasta la edad de la información).

Excesivo caos hacen que el juego sea incontrolable y que no puedas planificar ningún tipo de estrategia. Parece que el juego juega solo y tu simplemente eres una mano inocente que hace saltar una cadena de acontecimientos en las cartas, parece un Fluxx. Tampoco parece que esté muy desarrollado y equilibrado. Es un juego para dos jugadores y en ese caso podría ser mas entretenido, pero para dos jugadores prefiero otras alternativas.
