How to play

Put history in order, one event at a time. The same rules are in the app, under Rules on the home screen.

  1. The goal

    Be the first to build a timeline of 10, 15 or 20 events, as the table was set, all in the right order.

  2. The start

    Everyone gets one event, with its year showing, to start their timeline.

  3. A turn

    An event is drawn and read out without its year. Put it in your timeline where you think it goes. Right, and it's yours, year showing.

  4. Wrong

    It goes to the player on your left, still without its year, to place in their own timeline, then the next, round the table, until someone gets it or everyone has tried. Then the turn passes to your left.

  5. The same year

    Two events in the same year are right either way round.

  6. The deck

    No event comes up twice in a game. If the deck runs out before anyone gets there, whoever has the most events wins.

Playing here

When the event in the middle is yours to place, the gaps in your timeline light up: tap the one it goes in. Tap another player to see their timeline, and tap the scores to see everyone's.
