About Ovation

Become one of the greatest classical composers of all time! You'll use inspiration, seek fortune and hobnob with aristocrats to perform musical masterpieces and achieve your legacy in this engine building game. Get inspired by your rivals' performances to create your own works of genius as the game builds to a crescendo. Each turn, players choose one of four actions: Seek Inspiration, Seek Fortune, Seek Patronage, or Perform. Inspiration is your primary resource and it comes in three tones - Joy, Passion and Sorrow. Seeking inspiration allows you to gain your resources while all of the other actions will have players spend inspiration to acquire cards. Complete specific goals to gain Maestro cards and end the game. The player with the most points, wins. Compose your masterpiece. Secure your legacy. —description from the designer
