INNOVATION: THIRD EDITION

Product Information

A Relic in your achievements pile counts as a claimed achievement as long as it stays there (remember that Relics can be seized from achievement piles). Claim an/any achievement— Only applies to Standard Achievements. If told to "Claim an achievement of (value [X]/matching value)", you can only do so if a standard achievement of that specific value is available. During a normal Meld action, you may treat the card on display as if it is in your hand, and meld it. This may trigger another dig event, and/or any other effects triggered by Meld actions. The rulebook is also very good. It starts with the setup, explains the general principles of the game, and then moves on to actions. Finally, all the tiles are included in the appendix, explaining what they do. It’s hard for me to judge how the rulebook is if you’re a newcomer, but everything seems to be in the right place.

You control one of these factions and will terraform the game map’s terrain into your homelands where you can erect your buildings. 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 series._x000D_Remove— completely set aside from play, and the game is continued from that point as if those cards no longer exist. If you have at least two red cards on your board, you must score the top two (possibly losing their splay if you had only two or three). Then you splay your green cards up, if possible (if you have at least two greens on your board). 2. If you have one red card on your board, you must score it, but then you do not splay your green cards up. 3. If you have no red cards on your board, nothing happens.) 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.

In the top middle of each card is its title. Each card has its own unique title. In a few cases, titles are compared alphabetically, and a few expansion cards reference specific other cards by their title. Otherwise, it is simply a way to distinguish each card.

Exchange— Simultaneously transfer cards between the two areas given, even if one side is empty. Exchanges do not need to be symmetrical. Depending on the situation, 2 cards can be exchanged with 2, 1 card with 4, or even 0 cards with 10. As with transferring, the cards have not been "melded", "scored", etc. for effects/triggers that care about that. To be clear, cards moved to your score pile still nonetheless add to your score, cards moved to your hand can be melded with future Meld actions, cards moved to your board can be activated with future Dogma Actions, and cards moved to your achievements pile still get you closer to winning. They just weren't technically "melded", "drawn", etc. ex: "Choose a card set and draw two 2s." You choose "Artifacts". There are cards in the Artifacts age 2 supply pile, but the base age 2 supply pile is empty. There are cards in the base age 3 supply pile, so you draw two cards from the Artifacts age 3 supply pile, skipping over age 2, as it is treated as "empty".) (Original printings of some cards referred to a card's "type", which is the same as card set. The wording of all the cards on BGA have been changed to "card set" to reduce confusion.) The dogma effects of several cards award a win if certain conditions are met. Others allow the single player with the most (or least) [X] to win; these will only award victory if there is no tie for [X]. If there is a tie, the effect is ignored.
