What innovative mechanic or creative idea distinguishes your game from others? Eternal Dynasty is a different kind of territory control game. You don’t wage outright war on the other players as in other area control games. It’s not a game of armies directly removing each other from play. Influence tokens stay from Generation to Generation, so it’s a lot about out-maneuvering other players. Also, the game shifts immensely each Generation when you select a new Ruler with different abilities, so you have to be very adaptable.

Voting is also a unique and political process, something you rarely see in the more war-like territory control games. Votes in Eternal Dynasty are decided by secret ballot, but, and here’s the great part, you can discard any unused votes to reinforce your position, so you can mortgage your future to help ensure that a particular motion passes or fails. Votes are also incentivized, so it’s not always clear-cut on how each player will vote.
