Who should consider this

Innovation suits players who enjoy constructing a personal tableau and sequencing powerful effects. It fits both compact game nights and longer sessions with friends or family. While the game scales from 2 to 4 players (with variants), the core idea remains the same: balance expansion with disruption as your civilization evolves.

Packaging and accessibility
