Innovation is a medium game (weight 5/10). Despite the modest rules footprint, the decision space is deep (9/10) — the kind of game that rewards a dozen plays. Decision density is intense (8/10) — expect brain-burn and the occasional bout of AP. Players are constantly affecting each other's plans (interaction 7/10). Direct conflict exists but is contained (5/10).
Of every game in our catalog, Innovation is closest to Glory to Rome (93% profile match) but scores higher on density (8 vs. 7).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.

Most variance is input randomness (8/10): luck arrives before your decision and you plan around it. Catch-up is moderate (5/10).
The theme provides flavor (4/10) but the experience is mostly mechanical. The engine-building arc is strong (engine 9/10) — early-game investments pay off in explosive late-game turns.
