About this deal

Although the opponent never feels human, the system does an excellent job at providing a measurable hurdle and an entity that competes for space and technology tiles like a human adversary would. Moreover, there are several difficulty levels to choose from, as well as numerous automa factions, some designed exclusively for the solo mode. 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! Draw [and ...] when a dogma effect tells you to draw a card, it will always specify what value to draw. Use this value, even if it is different from what a Draw Action would have you draw. If the effect tells you to get that value from another card, and no such card exists (e.g., "Draw a card equal to the value of your top purple", but you have no purples on your board), then the value is 0. As there are no 0 supply piles ever in the game, you skip up to 1 (and further if necessary). If you are are told to Draw and [ something else], you do the [ something else] with the card that you just drew. "Draw and meld a 6" means you draw from the age 6 supply pile (or age 7 if age 6 is empty, and so on), and then meld that card. You cannot choose to meld a different card from your hand, or any other card.

Melding a card represents your civilization adapting a new innovation into its society, possibly replacing the importance of a previously adapted one. Relics are an optional addition when playing with Artifacts of History, and must be chosen during table setup to be included. The player aids are enough to ensure that there isn’t too much confusion though so we’re not talking Netrunner levels of obscurity. But really obscure terminology is something publishers should be avoiding in their games now. There is no strategy, and that is good When drawing multiple cards, this rule is evaluated for each card, one-by-one. So if your hand is empty and you are instructed to draw three cards, you draw: Base, Echoes, Base

Take a free Dogma action, targeting the card on display. Solely for the purpose of determining sharing/vulnerability, the card's icons are added to your board's totals. Dogma effects on the card that care about your icon totals will not count the icons on the displayed card during this action. Using your free special action this way will also trigger Echo effects on your board in this color before the card's dogma effects (see Echoes of the Past Expansion). At the conclusion of all the dogma effects, return the displayed Artifact. (2) Return the displayed Artifact (without triggering the dogma effects). (3) You may pass the special action, leaving the Artifact on display. 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. Before executing any of the effects, the amount of times that the featured icon of the activated card (the small version of the icon that precedes each effect) appears is counted on each player's board. (A running count for how many times each of the six basic icons appears on each player's board is shown in the BGA player panels.) Any player with at least as many of that icon visible as you will share all non-demand effects. Any opponent with fewer of the icon visible than you is vulnerable to demand effects. The icon count is only performed once per Dogma action, and sharing/vulnerability for all the effects on the activated card will be determined by this count, regardless of how the state of the boards changes while the effects are applied. With this in mind, there are still two maps to choose from, smaller (1-3 players) and larger (3-5) players. They can be best compared to QIC cubes from GP. A very flexible resource that can be used to gain powerful innovation tiles (advanced technologies) or for certain actions. Moreover, there are four different colors of books, and innovation tiles demand a specific combination of five books, requiring a bit of planning.

If you ever attempt to draw a card higher than 10 for any reason, including skipping an empty Age 10 supply pile, the game ends immediately (even in the middle of an action/effect - see End of Game). If the preference Card appearance is set to "Third edition", the value of the card will be outlined in different shapes, depending on the card's color.)You must choose one of these four actions, you cannot simply "pass". However, it is legal (and sometimes strategically preferred) to perform a Dogma action, activating a top card that will have no effect (for example, the card only has a Demand effect, and no player has fewer icons than you), as a way to effectively "pass" the action. Foreshadowing a card means to place it in your forecast, a new area defined for this effect, face down. You may look at the fronts of the cards in your own forecast, but not other players' forecasts.
