Nach einer Operation, welche seine Intelligenz verdreifacht, muss sich Charlie gemeinsam mit der schlauen Maus Algernon seiner neuen Realität stellen. Daniel Keyes stellt in Blumen für Algernon die Frage, ob mehr Intelligenz wirklich zu einem besseren Leben oder nur zu mehr Problemen führt.

Feuerland Spiele bringt die deutsche Version der Erweiterung Age of Innovation: Zukunft und Vergangenheit auf den Markt. Als Veröffentlichungsfenster nennt der Verlag das vierte Quartal 2026, ein konkretes Datum steht noch nicht fest. Die Erweiterung baut auf dem 2023 erschienenen Expertenspiel von Helge Ostertag auf, das in der Welt von Terra Mystica angesiedelt ist.
Mit der Erweiterung kommen Zeitreisende ins Spiel und eröffnen damit zwei taktische Optionen. Schickst du sie in die Zukunft, bereiten sie neues Land für dich vor und kehren als Sachkundige mit zusätzlichem Wissen zurück. Setzt du sie dagegen in der Vergangenheit ein, drehen sie eine bereits getätigte Aktion zurück und du kannst die Aktion in derselben Runde ein zweites Mal nutzen.
Hinzu kommen fünf neue Kompetenzen, von denen nicht alle gleichzeitig auf das Tableau passen. In manchen Partien musst du also auf eine eigentlich vertraute Fähigkeit verzichten und deinen Plan entsprechend anpassen. Sechs neue Gemeinschaften erweitern die Auswahl an spielbaren Fraktionen, jeweils mit eigenen Fähigkeiten. Dazu liefert die Box je drei neue Buchaktionen, Palastplättchen, Rundenboni und Erfindungsplättchen sowie einen neuen Stadtmarker.
Age of Innovation ist 2023 als eigenständiges Spiel in der Terra-Mystica-Reihe erschienen. Es richtet sich an 1 bis 5 Personen ab 14 Jahren, die Spieldauer liegt je nach Besetzung zwischen 40 und 200 Minuten. Du übernimmst eine von zwölf Gemeinschaften, terraformst die Landschaft, errichtest Gebäude und verbindest sie zu Städten. Nähe zu anderen Fraktionen schränkt deine Expansion ein, bringt zugleich aber spürbare Vorteile.
Auf BoardGameGeek erreicht der Titel eine Durchschnittsbewertung von 8,45 von 10 Punkten bei über 8.400 abgegebenen Stimmen und steht damit auf Platz 56 der Gesamtrangliste sowie Platz 30 der Strategy Games. Die Community ordnet das Spiel mit einer Komplexität von 4,27 von 5 klar im Expertensegment ein. Die Erweiterung „Zukunft und Vergangenheit" knüpft an dieses Profil an und ergänzt das Grundspiel um die Zeitreise-Mechanik, neue Fraktionen und zusätzliches Material.
Oh man, oh man, it’s time that we ask you (yes, you) to tell us (yes, us) what your favourite games are, because for one time a year, it doesn’t matter what we think about games, but you better be ready to tell us what you think about games. A lot of you did, so here it is, the listener top 20! Before we ask you to do all the work, we talk about Emberheart, Gods & Mortals, and Feya’s Swamp.

There’s any number of subtle innuendoes we could’ve gone with, but this is what we’re doing I guess. If you haven’t got there yet, we’re talking about games that aren’t just slow rides, but instead leave you gasping for more right as they climax. Before we finish, we talk about No Loose Ends, Eselsbrücke, and The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship.
