Age of Innovation
2023 · 1-5 Players · ~120-200 min · Competitive
Age of Innovation is the spiritual successor to Terra Mystica and Gaia Project, refining the faction-based territory development formula with modular faction creation and an innovation track that replaces the research system. The core loop of building, expanding, and competing for territory remains deeply satisfying, and the modular factions provide replay variety that the fixed factions of its predecessors couldn't match. The complexity and length will intimidate newcomers to the system, and veterans may find the changes evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
