You definitely need to think wisely about your decisions at every step of the game! Super fun, nice components!
If you are a fan of Uwe Rosenberg games, then give this a chance. It's not as heavy as Caverna but very fun to play.
Amazing game for those who are looking for a heavier more strategy based game. Age adds to the Terra Mystica world by adding a unique faction draft at the beginning making every game different than the last. As well as a new resource “books” that you will use to craft powerful point making innovations to gain you big points or powers. Where Terra Mystica is very consistent, Age of Innovation turns that on its head and adds a lot of variety.
Of the Dice Throne sets, this one seems more polished in their use of terms and general quality. Great characters with fun abilities.
