Innovation Ultimate

Created by Asmadi Games

Carl Chudyk's Innovation, turned up to 11! Innovation Ultimate is a new edition of Innovation. A full box set with updated art and design, Age 11 cards added to each set, a whole new expansion (The Unseen), and new streamlined expansion rules to get more of the hundreds of exciting cards to your table! While the campaign has fulfilled, we're using BackerKit to take orders, which will ship out every week or so in waves.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

More Hubs Shipping!
about 1 year ago – Wed, Mar 05, 2025 at 08:44:36 PM

Hello! If you are in the following regions, you should have received (or be receiving in the next 24 hours) an address confirmation email from your hub:

Asia
Africa
South America
Australia (And NZ)
Mexico
Israel
Russia

It will look like this, and include a link for you to confirm your address - and for certain regions, provide a tax number (Brazil especially, but some others).



If you do not receive an email by Friday and are in one of those regions, reach out to me at innovation @ asmadigames.com and I'll deal with your confirmation manually.

Shipping for these regions will begin soon - sorry for the delays, it's a bit of a wild time for shipping out there for a variety of reasons.

Update: Europe Shipping
about 1 year ago – Thu, Feb 20, 2025 at 06:47:18 AM

If you're in Europe, you will be receiving an email from PTS/Matagot-Friends, as they are our fulfillment partner for the region. That email has a link for you to verify/validate your shipping address, and you need to do so before they'll ship your game. It is indeed legitimate, sorry for any confusion it caused! If you are in Europe and did not receive an email, check your spam folder or filter.

US shipping has commenced! Many backers have received tracking info already, others will over the coming days. 

Shipping Updates!
about 1 year ago – Sat, Feb 15, 2025 at 06:19:56 AM

Hello friends, thanks for your patience as we navigate the stormy shipping waters known colloquially as "2025". Things are moving frustratingly slower than even my conservative projections, but they are moving!

US: Games are at the warehouse and unloaded from the container. Our fulfillment partner has one project ahead of us to finish packing + shipping, and then Innovation Ultimate copies will start shipping Thursday or Friday to US backers!

CA: Games will be on a truck next week to our Canadian hub, then hopefully a simple border crossing and shipping within the next couple weeks.

Europe (Including UK): I was evidently given the wrong boat schedule, which showed hitting port Feb 8. It will be hitting port Feb 24, and then it'll clear customs/go to hub, and shipping will start after that.

Asia: Fulfillment will start in the next week.

AU/NZ: I do not have a boat schedule for this, but I believe it's similar to the Europe schedule. Will report once I have firmer details.

Rest of World: These will be shipping from China or from the US, depending on location. They'll happen in about 2 weeks.

Sorry for the delays, there's sadly not a lot I can do about them. Excited for games to get to your tables! 

Production Complete! Timelines and Dates - Last chance for pre-orders/changes
over 1 year ago – Mon, Dec 23, 2024 at 07:56:15 AM

Production is complete on Innovation Ultimate! It will be on a boat next week, arriving in the US at the end of January (and similar to our hubs in the EU and Australia). So fulfillment will be happening in February for most folks.  

This is the final final call for new pre-orders or order changes, I'll be closing the pre-order store next week. 

Any pre-orders or add-ons that haven't been charged yet, and many store orders with cases will be charged on January 3rd. I'll be locking down those orders soon, and locking in those addresses once final charges have been made.

If your order or address was already locked and you need it changed, please send an email directly to [email protected] with whatever you want updated and the info of your new address, including any phone number change if outside the US. I've got a handful of emails in my inbox to process. 

Happy Holidays all, excited for this to get to your tables finally! I am again sorry for the delays in production, but we're glad to be near the finish line. 

A Box! A PAX! A Schedule-ish?
over 1 year ago – Mon, Dec 02, 2024 at 05:31:11 PM

At long last, we have a sample of a completed production-run copy of Innovation Ultimate! The rest of the contents you've seen already (these are 99% the same but from the actual presses), but the box top, you have not yet seen! Behold the shiny: 


Pictures, of course, don't convey how it looks in person, so this video shows it in motion:




Ivy, as always, big helper.

I still do not have a completion date from the factory. I'm assuming sometime in the next 2-3 weeks, at which point it will get on to boats to various regions. This of course means folks will not be receiving it until January or February depending on location. Honestly...we had expected to be fully fulfilled and selling copies at PAX Unplugged this weekend. It is very disappointing to be let down by factory world, but it is what it is. In the end, the box is awesome, the contents are awesome, and you're all getting the definitive Innovation experience! And for that, I am glad.

I will share more when I know more. Thanks as always for your patience!

PAX

We will be at PAX Unplugged in booth 3133, demoing this, ODD: Relics of the Forge, Good Puppers Too (surprise beta printing!), 1001 Odysseys, and the top secret prototype we've been poking at for months - Mystic Curling Club. You didn't know you needed a magical dexterity curling game with sliding/rolling dice down a board, but it turns out everyone needs it - and it's a lot of fun. 

There's also a chess set hiding on the edge of that table, which Carl and I have been playing with a lot. Hmmmmm :) 

It's coming with me to PAX U also, but only for toppest secret use. But if you ask nicely on Sunday afternoon maybe it'll make an appearance!
