If you like the game Innovation, I've just made public my new site for playing it: http://innovation.isotropic.org/.  The interface should look familiar.  :-)  Like the Dominion site, it's not a particularly good place to learn the game if you don't already know it, but hopefully there will be a critical mass of people who are already familiar with it and want to play it online.

I love you so so so so so much.

I've already been looking at this game and this makes me want to buy it simply to learn the rules and play on iso.

Dougz, you are awesome.

I'm on right now if you want a teaching game. I want to try out the interface, but no one else is not already playing.

I'll be right on!

Link to rules? If dougz made an online version, it has to be good.

It's excellent.

Never even heard of the game, just posting to show my support to dougz.

Just some quick thoughts from playing (only up to age 5) of a game so far:


Blue looks a lot like purple (on my monitor, anyways).

When my opponent "draws and scores" a card, I'm shown the name of the card (when all I should get to know is the age).

I'm not sure, but does Tools[1] let me return less than three cards (for no effect)? I'm fairly certain you should only be able to return exactly 3 or exactly no cards to its first effect.

Is there a way to see the text of the special achievements?

Any thoughts on an undo button, at least for "Meld"? I've clicked cards trying to read the tooltip (in no text hand mode). Also, an "are you sure" for cards that won't have an effect when dogmaed, like demands that hit no one?

We had a crash:

[Drab Emordnilap]

Us too!

It looks like Classification[6] was calling for o.color == r.color, but I'm not a color, I'm an opponent!

Now that's a good start to 2013!

[Dsell]

The best thing about Innovation on Isotropic?

Just restarted with some updates:

- fixed Sanitation, Corporations, Vaccination, Tools, Classification
- draw-and-score doesn't show card names to opponents
- popups with special achievement text
- fixed crash when a multi-card draw ends the game

[Drab Emordnilap]

Is there any way to tell how many actions one has remaining? Not that it's necessary, except maybe to help me remember which players lose an action in a 3 player game.

Thanks for all the quick fixes!

This game crashed when I tried to use compass to steal statistics. I played this whole game on my phone, and it worked remarkably well, except I couldn't find a way to read the other player's cards.

This game crashed when I tried to use compass to steal statistics.

The bug was when the two cards exchanged by Compass were the same color.  (It would transfer one, then get confused because the other one wasn't on top any more.)

This and a couple others (Classification again, and Fission) should be fixed in the next restart (scheduled for about 3 hours from now, in the middle of the night for me).

dougz is so far my favourite person of 2013.

[cayvie]

thank you for gender-neutral pronoun options

[Kirian]

WIN.

Now I want to request Eminent Domain.

Edit:  Also, is it time for InnovationStrategy.com yet?

[heron]

I found an extremely minor bug, I think. When someone dogmas the wheel, the log just says ...two 1's, as opposed to ...draws two 1's.

[Grujah]

BGG is down, can't find the rules.

/PANICS.

I won my first ever game and I had no idea what I was doing!

Before I go and read the rules, I always heard that it is very luck dependant.
Can someone say something about that? Is it a game which you are able to play competitively?
And if yes, dougz, will you implement a leaderboard?

The cards are reasonably well-balanced, but as every card is different there's definitely a significant luck aspect.  Nonetheless, the choice of what actions to use when ends up being based not just on your hand and board, but the cards your opponent has in play, the cards in their hands, the cards they've scored, etc.

I don't think the luck element detracts from the game any more so than it does in Dominion.
