Ovation
Players assume the roles of rival classical composers building an artistic legacy through inspiration, money, and patrons. Each turn, a player takes one of four actions: seek inspiration (gaining Joy, Passion, or Sorrow tokens), seek fortune (acquire money), seek patronage (gain aristocratic support), or perform (spend inspiration to play composition cards). Played works and patron interactions power an engine that generates further resources and abilities, and specific objectives award Maestro cards that advance the endgame. The game ends when goal conditions trigger; the highest-scoring composer wins.
