Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up Innovation is straightforward: each player starts with a single card, and the deck is sorted into ages. Ensure you have a clear surface as players will eventually maintain rows and piles of cards. The game is fully contained within the box and does not require external accessories. Because it is a card-driven game, consider using card sleeves to protect the components from wear during frequent shuffles and play. Keep the game in a cool, dry place and avoid moisture, which can cause cards to warp or stick together.
