Innovation

[Gerald]

This new game by Carl Chudyk (the man who designed Glory to Rome) is a journey through innovations from the stone age through modern times. Each player builds a civilization based on various technologies, ideas, and cultural advancements, all represented by cards. Each of these cards has a unique power which will allow further advancement, point scoring, or even attacking other civilizations. Be careful though, as other civilizations may be able to benefit from your ideas as well!

To win, you must score achievements, which you can attain by amassing points or by meeting certain criteria with the innovations you have built. Plan your civilization well, and outmaneuver your opponents, and you will achieve victory!

[Adrian (the other one)]

Interesting -- like a cross between Through the Ages and Glory to Rome. Smaller, compact, but essentially civ building through cards that interact with one another and build up over time.

This goes on my watch list!
