Age of Innovation

Age of Innovation is a standalone strategy board game in the Terra Mystica universe where asymmetric factions terraform terrain, build up their civilizations, and outmaneuver rivals for victory.

You’ll pair a faction with a homeland and special ability, then reshape the map to match your terrain so you can expand and upgrade an efficient network of buildings. As your engine develops, you’ll convert income into momentum—gaining tools, scholars, money, and power—while positioning near opponents for both friction and benefits. Schools and sciences open long-term scoring paths, and books fuel innovations that push your faction in a distinct direction each game. It plays 1–5 players at about 40 minutes per player, recommended for ages 14+, and includes a dedicated solo rulebook. Available now at Boarding School Games—Forge a new civilization today.
