Innovation

First, what does the word Innovation mean? By definition, innovation is the act or effect of innovating. In practical terms, it can be understood as the creation of something new or the improvement of something existing. It is the introduction of novelties in management or in the way of doing something - in short: a discovery.

Today, we live in the Information Age, and this is a fact. Information generates power, brings benefits, advantages, new discoveries, and, of course, innovation. Technology walks hand in hand with information, bringing with it the new.

Innovation seems to be "the hot topic," and for that to happen, we go through several stages until we reach the current point. Let’s revisit these eras and discover who can achieve the greatest innovations in the Innovation Board Game!

Game Details

Innovation is a game for 2 to 4 players, recommended for ages 12+, created by designer Carl Chudyk. The artwork of the game is credited to Cara Judd, Anders Olausson, Robin Olausson, Christophe Swal, and Cyril Van Der Haegen.

If you’re looking for a highly strategic and immersive game based on technologies and real achievements of humanity, and on top of that, want to gain a history lesson, Innovation is the right game for you!

Innovation is about advancements through the Eras; however, there is synergy among these technological innovations and new discoveries. It’s up to you to find the connection between them, and that is pure strategy with a touch of logical reasoning.

Managing the cards, the Eras, whether to advance faster or not, all of these will be strategic decisions to be made constantly. This makes Innovation such a cerebral game.

As you play, you learn about the specific and characteristic advancements of each Era, which is a huge discovery and directly tied to this – in other words, it’s a history lesson.

As a teacher, I recommend that parents do this with their children: take the opportunity to learn about the entire deck of the game while also searching the internet for the history of each of these 105 technologies available in the game. It will be a very fun and educational activity to do with your children.

Pedagogically, Innovation is a history lesson of humanity in the format of a game!

I recommend Innovation for your collection!!!
