Age of Innovation

This post's average rating is: 5

Diverse factions, each with unique characteristics, populate this world of varying terrain. Here, you compete to construct buildings and merge them into grand cities. Age of Innovation allows you to create new combinations of Factions, Homelands, and Abilities so that each game plays out in different ways.

You control one of these factions and will terraform the world’s terrain into that of your homeland. Then you will be able to construct your buildings, giving you benefits to propel your faction forward. Proximity to other factions may limit your expansion, but it also gains you significant advantages in the game. This tension adds to the appeal of the Terra Mystica universe!

Upgrade your buildings to gain valuable resources such as Tools, Scholars, Money, and Power. Build schools to advance in different sciences, and collect books, which you can use to create innovations. Build your palace to gain a powerful new ability, or build workshops, guilds, and universities to complete your culture.

With 7 double-layered planning displays, 12 factions, 17 palace abilities, 18 innovations, and other variable game components, you’ll be able to create an almost inexhaustible number of game combinations. Couple that with the large number of high-quality wooden parts, and you have all you need for an enduring and exciting gaming experience!

From the team behind the award-winning Terra Mystica, Age of Innovation is a standalone game in the Terra Mystica universe, expanding the gameplay of its predecessor.
