I took a small break from ordering new games as the pre-orders arriving after Essen are a lot. This break lasted till today that I couldn’t resist to a copy of Grand Austria Hotel and an other one of Innovation.
@marinou I adore Innovation. It's probably the game I'm most fond of that I also play the least. (I have one partner for it and I gave them my set for their 40th birthday)

It's a game that rewards repeat play and on its face I'd like it, I just don't get to play often.
@grayson I just heard about it recently, watched a couple playthroughs and thought that it would be great to play with my usual player 2. I only found a used iello version of it though and I would really prefer the classic asmadi one.
@marinou the Asmadi is quite clean visually, and it's the only one I've used. There was a period of time when I looked for the Iello one, but I didn't expend much effort. A game getting played beats no game in my book...
@grayson I have expressed my interest in a future group pledge of 12 people for the Innovation Ultimate campaign in Backerkit. Let’s hope that we will meet the number of people needed and I will get a copy of this beautiful new version next year🤞🏻
@marinou @grayson Innovation is just wild. I love how each game is about finding some new “broken” combo. I too am looking forward to the new edition. Till then, it plays nicely on BGA.
@sirideain @grayson yes, that’s one of my favorite mechanisms too. I will definitely try it out on BGA, thanks for letting me know!
@grayson @marinou while I wouldn’t consider myself an expert, I am always up for an async game.
@sirideain @grayson sure, I am itsmarinou on BGA.
@marinou requests sent. The nice thing about playing online is that it tracks all of the icons for us.
