An exciting strategy game in a new multilingual edition which includes “Great Discoveries” expansion and Stephen Hawking and Robert Hooke leader cards, for a unique gaming experience!

The middle of the 17th century was a period of great changes; with the advent of the scientific method came what we now call the Scientific Revolution. Many great scientists, with their theories and ideas, changed and shaped our perception of the universe: Galileo Galilei, Copernicus, Kepler, Bacon and, above all, Sir Isaac Newton.

During an age of scientific research and astounding discoveries, Isaac Newton stands out for his peculiar intelligence and for the extent of his studies. In this compex strategy game, players follow the path of great 18th century scientists to become the most eminent academic in the world.

Travel across Europe to visit famous universities and secret knowledge temples. Carry out experiments on different technologies. Do ordinary jobs to gain some money. Read, read and read all the books in your library.

The game is played over six rounds. Each round, every player plays five cards from their hand, and each played card allows the player to perform one of the many actions of the game. An action can have a variety of effects, which depend on the symbols on the board. At the end of the round, a player can take back all the cards except for one. One card has to remain on the board, which means that you give up one possibility of doing that action, but also that that very action will be carried out with greater strength. Fortunately, you can acquire new cards with additional powers to perform more actions.

After six rounds, you calculate your final score, and the player with the most VP wins.
