Innovation Ultimate

Innovation: Ultimate (Deluxe Edition) unites the base game, five expansions, and exclusive Age 11 cards into a single, luxurious box—amplifying strategy, combos, and civilization-building potential.

Forge your legacy across eleven ages. Meld cards, trigger Dogmas, and claim Achievements while weaving powerful combo chains—now richer and deeper with expanded content and new pathways to victory.

How the Game Works

On your turn, draw or meld from the age pyramid, then activate Dogma abilities from top cards in your meld stacks—triggering powerful effects like drawing cards, swapping, or chaining further Dogmas. Score Achievements when conditions are met, offering alternate paths to win. Age 11 introduces fresh late-game mechanics and strategic depth.

The player with the most Achievements—or highest score when the deck ends—wins. With expanded card synergy and content, every game feels fresh and dynamically compelling.
