Assorted factions, each with unique characteristics, populate this world of varying terrains. Here you will compoete to erect buildings and merge them into cities. Each game allows you to create new combinations of factions, homelands and abilities so that each game isn't the same as another. Proximity to other factions may limit your expansion, but it also gains you significant advantages in the game. This tension adds to the appeal of the Terra Mystica series. Age of Innovation offers you a modular faction design and variable game components for even more replayability. A double sided map for both lower and higher player counts is included, plus a designated solo mode made by Automa Factory.
