Content Notes: Kickstarter Edition of Inventions: Evolution of Ideas, a Deluxe Lacerda Board Game by Eagle Gryphon Games. Includes core game and all applicable unlocked stretch goals. Please note: unless otherwise stated paid add ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included.

Since the beginning of the times, humanity had a permanent search for discovery and technology. Their genius made them stand out from the other animals. Their inventions become the base of their civilizations. The hominid, the first humanlike species, emerges. By virtue of humanity’s nature as a toolmaker, humans have therefore been technologists from the beginning.

Inventions follow those discoveries, humanity’s greatest inventions and places that power in the hands of the players to make its own the best developed civilization of all times.

Inventions uses dated cards to simulate those inventions through time. Those cards bring ideas that must be developed. Then it can be used by the inventor of the civilization or shared with all others. Once developed, the invention increases the power, economy or science of the civilizations to make it stronger. If shared, it boosts its power even more by allowing them to be used by the other civilizations. Players leverage point to point movement on a board which is a world map containing dynamically changing worker placement locations.

The player with the Strongest Civilization wins the game. The strongest Civilization is decided by Invention Points. IPs.

Timothy ★★★★★

Finally got my copy and the weight of those wooden tokens alone tells you this isn't some flimsy production. The way the technology tracks evolve as you play feels incredibly smooth once you get the flow of the action selection down.

Grace ★★★★★

The deluxe components really make this one shine — the board and pieces feel substantial, and setup for 2 players is quicker than I expected. It plays in about two hours once everyone knows the rules, which is reasonable for a Lacerda design.

Charlotte ★★★★★

Played a 4-player game last night and the tech tree kept everyone arguing until midnight, which is exactly what I wanted from this. The insert actually holds every sleeved card and token without lid lift, small thing but it matters when you're hauling it to game night.
