Setup
Before setting up the base game, add the new elements from the Innovation expansion:

After completing setup for the base game, follow these additional steps to set up the Innovation expansion:

- Researchers. Place the matching researcher for each player color on the leftmost space of the innovation board. These special workers will remain on the innovation board throughout the game. Return the remaining researchers to the box.
- Improvement Cards. Shuffle the improvement cards and place them face up in a deck below the "Construct Improvement" space of the innovation board.
- Specialist Cards. Shuffle the specialist cards and place them face up in a deck below the "Hire Specialist" space of the innovation board.
- Landmark Expansion Boards. Shuffle the landmark expansion boards and place them face up in a stack below the "Develop Landmark" space of the innovation board.
NOTE: The improvement, specialist, and landmark stacks are face-up, but players may not look through these stacks.
Gameplay
The Innovation expansion introduces a new action during the Actions step in which players advance their Researchers on the innovation board.
Researcher
During the Actions step, players may either place a worker or advance their researcher one space on the innovation board.
A player must advance their researcher exactly once per month.
After advancing a researcher, resolve the corresponding researcher action.

In the case of a tie, the tied player with the shovel token or closest (clockwise) to the player with the shovel token wins.
Attractions With Two Types
During scoring at Game End, attractions that show two types (Fantasy, Old West, Prehistoric, Sci-Fi, Undersea, and Souvenir) are considered both types simultaneously.
New Property Boards

- Cosmic Heights: This property board provides extra wild emotion icons.
- Hide and Seek: When the player with this property board covers a bonus space containing a '?' icon, immediately gain VP from the supply equal to the VP value on the attraction that covered it.
- Lazy Sunday: This property board imposes a $1 income penalty but has better bonus spaces.
- Opportunity Bluff: When the player with this property board covers a bonus space containing a '/ ' icon, they choose to gain one reward and ignore the other.

Solo Rules
When playing solo with the Innovation expansion, add a researcher in Becky's color to the leftmost space of the innovation board.
Action Step
Becky advances her researcher as her first action each month. Whenever Becky advances before the player, she gains 1 VP.
When Becky advances her researcher to the first, second, or third space before the player does, discard the top card or board from the corresponding stack. Becky does not gain these cards or boards.
If Becky advances to the fourth space after the player, she advances the two discs on the emotion tracks that are furthest to the left. If there is a tie for furthest left, she advances on the topmost track of the tied discs.
When Becky advances her researcher to the final space, she gains the attraction with the highest cost and advances her emotion discs (as normal).
Wild Emotion Icons
When Becky gains an attraction with a wild emotion icon, advance her disc that is furthest to the left on the emotion tracks. If there is a tie for furthest left, she advances on the topmost of the tied tracks.
Note: the printed text reads "reseacher" in the first sentence of the Action Step; it is transcribed here as "researcher".
