  • Enjoyable
This is a great game and was as expected. It is a good family night game but not a long strategy game and super easy to play so its accessible and does not require an all night commitment if that is an issue. I was worried my young adult son wouldnt like it or not do well but he liked it and won one game. The idea is very simple, you are given an event in history but that might be cultural too like what year did salsa become the biggest selling condiment or when was bubble wrap invented, and you dont have to really know the exact year but where it falls on your timeline which is always changing. This works then for younger people who will not know when JR got shot lol but often you have a sense of when something was and can guess the range although also you can be laughably 100 years off and so it does spark laughter and conversations about history too. I guess at some point you go through all the cards but honestly no one is going to remember all the dates and its really your random timeline that makes some more difficult than others so I dont see an issue reusing them. this will be a regular in our rotation. ... show more

  • Low-key fun for mixed group of players
It is a great, lowkey game to play that combines a little luck, a little trivia knowledge, and a little critical thinking. Fun.

  • So enjoyable for history nerds and non history nerds alike. Super fun.
This is by far our favorite family game. We are a bunch of history nerds but I had no idea how much they would enjoy this game! It’s easy to play and everyone can participate because of the random timelines created during play of the game. We also, often play with teams. The cards are durable and it’s a great price for lots of fun and some education too. Highly recommend. ... show more

  • Fun for teens and adults!
My husband will play this game and he hates playing games. My grandkids love playing this game. I really love this game in spite of not having done real well in history. This is much better than history classes because you don't have to know the exact dates that things happened. You just kind of need to know when they were in relation to other happenings. I'm not only have my own game, but I've also given away two of them to people who have played and really liked the game. ... show more

  • Fun game for adults
A very fun and educational game. My son in law loves it. I don’t think it would be great for kids under 16 ….just too much world knowledge. It is great for adults !

  • Great game for adults!
Not for anyone under 21! You must know history to like this game. Excellent conversation starter and fun to play.

  • Fun game for all
This game is so much fun! Even for non-history lovers it’s a fun game. I got this for my dad who is a history buff and played with my family multiple times. It’s a simple concept and even my son could join in on the fun! Great gift and fun to play!

  • We played one round… then accidentally lost our entire weekend
The media could not be loaded. We absolutely loved this game. We picked it up for a weekend game night and ended up playing for hours because everyone was having so much fun. It’s easy to learn, keeps everyone involved, and leads to a lot of surprising “wait… that happened before that?!” moments and friendly debates. One small downside is that rounds can run a bit long if people get competitive and start arguing their timelines, but that honestly adds to the fun. It’s very replayable, great for groups, and has quickly become one of our go-to games. I would definitely recommend this game for all of our friends! ... show more
