Innovation Deluxe

Guide a civilization through changing ages by drafting and playing innovation cards that grant unique powers. Players play cards from a shared row to build a tableau, trigger each card’s special effect, and manipulate the age-level deck to gain advantages, resources, or points. Actions include drawing from higher-age stacks, scoring via card effects, and forcing exchanges or transfers of opponents’ cards. This edition combines the base set with four expansions, increasing card variety and interaction while retaining the card-driven, non-combat civilization-building focus.
