About the game

What you do in a play session

The third expansion for the acclaimed card game Innovation has arrived, and this time we're building cities! With *Innovation: Cities of Destiny*, you add a new flavor to your civilization, bringing the possibility of erecting metropolises that will change the course of your development. Forget the old cards with just three icons and one ability; the *Cities of Destiny* cards come with six icons! This means more extra actions, more icon power, and more paths to victory. Get ready for an even more dynamic and strategic experience, where every move counts and building your civilization becomes more complex and rewarding. This expansion is designed to be played with the base game *Innovation* and can be combined with all previous expansions, opening up a vast array of possibilities for those who are already fans of the series. If you enjoy card games that require planning, adaptation, and a good dose of interaction, *Cities of Destiny* is the next step to take your civilizations to a new level of glory. It's a game that tests your ability to manage resources and anticipate opponents' moves, all wrapped in a rules system that, despite its depth, remains accessible to those who already know the basics of Innovation. Prepare for an even bigger and more fun challenge!
