Description
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.]

Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Achievements/Scoring — Public score track; players tuck and score cards to earn achievements; achieving six items or certain combinations ends the game.
- Dogma — A special action on certain cards that can force transfers, draws, scoring, or other effects; can affect all players or only those with specific conditions.
- draw — Draw actions pull cards from the appropriate piles; top card values guide how many and from where.
- Icon/Crown/Leaves Economy — Icons (crowns/leaves) drive actions and interactions; managing these resources influences which actions you can take.
- Meld — Players select a card from hand and place it face-up to create or extend a color stack; melded cards stay in front and unlock other actions.
- Splaying/Display — Displaying cards to the left or right (splaying) changes how future Dogma effects apply and reveals new icons.

Overall sentiment (raw)
mixed
Pros
- Vivid thematic vibe derived from abstract mechanisms
- Cards encapsulate diverse, multi-use effects with strong engine-building potential
- Dynamic engine interactions and potential big swings create memorable moments
- Relatively quick playtime for two players (and shortish in the best cases)
- Balanced chaos: lots of powerful cards but with counterplay via engine design
Cons
- Text-heavy cards can slow initial plays and overwhelm newcomers
- Icon counting and card splay management can be tedious, especially late in the game
- Two-player is the ideal mode; three to four players can degrade experience and pace
- Onboarding and learning curves can be steep due to unique card texts and dogma rules
Thematic elements
- civilizational progress and technological advancement
- Civilization across ten ages from pre-history to information age
- abstracted historical progress, dogma-driven card events
Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Achievements — Achieve milestones by meeting score and top-card requirements to gain achievements, some requiring spending an action and others being free.
- Dogma effects — Each card has dogma text that triggers actions when you use that card to perform its dogma, including scoring, manipulating hands, and altering the shared state.
- draw — On a turn, draw a card up to the highest age value in your play area; if the exact value doesn't exist, draw the next value up.
- Icon-based scoring and resources — Icons on cards drive scoring, influence, and interaction; players track multiple icon types and occurrences to leverage dogma actions.
- Meld — Play cards from hand onto the board to create a tableau; placement can cover up lower-value icons and enable future synergies.
- Splaying — Sorts you cards in a direction (left, right, or center) to reveal additional icons and increase current effects, affecting future dogma power.
