Fun game. It’s amazing what year you think something happened in and then find out you were way off! We play this a lot as there are many cards and all different decades!

  • Fun for friends and family
Fun game. Easy to learn and play, and you don’t have to know exact dates, but a good historical knowledge is very helpful. Fun to play teams.

  • Chronology game versus Timeline game(s)
I was introduced to the Timeline game(s) by a friend and found it to be a lot of fun (in a geeky way). I even had different versions of the game in my Amazon wishlist for several months, but then I found this game! Chronology had a lot more cards so I decided to give it a try, and I am glad I bought this one (which is actually a game created long before the Timeline games). First off, the game play is a bit different between the two games. In Timeline, everyone has cards that they try to correctly place on one large timeline until one player runs out of cards and wins (and has to grab new cards for wrong guesses). In Chronology, someone else reads you a card's topic and then you guess where it goes on your personal timeline, with the first player reaching 10 cards in their timeline winning (if you guess wrong other players take turns to guess and add it to their own timeline). Both games could easily be played in either style, but it is a little harder to have a personal card pile in Chronology because the dates are printed in large numbers at the bottom of the description (so you would have to carefully pull a card only partially out of the box or cover it with something), while the dates and description are on opposite sides of the card in the Timeline game (so a simple flip). However, the reason Chronology does this is because each side of the card has a different event (they suggest you decide at the beginning for everyone to use the blue or yellow side), which means even more playability! The next main difference is in style. The Timeline cards are small, which can make it hard for some people to see while creating the large group timeline. The Chronology cards are almost a normal deck size and printed with good sized font and have a simple and uncluttered design with no artwork. I really like (and miss) the artwork that makes Timeline games so fun, but having larger Chronology cards is nice too. This is really all personal preference. (And the Chronology game is still very travel-friendly in size, great for packing in a bag/backpack or suitcase for trips). I haven't played too much yet with Chronology, but the variety of events/topics seems good. I definitely think it is the better bargain because of how many cards there are (and with a different event on each side!), while Timeline can get expensive if you want all the different subject/theme packs. Of course, this means that Chronology is more mixed, which might be bad if you only wanted a certain subject/theme, but I see the larger variety in one as a definite plus. So in conclusion, I definitely recommend this game and encourage you to try it out yourself! :0) PS: For those interested in solo/solitaire play, Timeline is easier because the dates are on a different side, but it is still possible with Chronology with the before mentioned careful pulling out of a card from the box or using something to cover the date. ... show more

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

  • Easy to learn and fun for the whole family!
A a recent family gathering, 3 generations sat down to play CHRONOLOGY and all enjoyed. Ages ranged from 10 years old to 83 years old. I love that there is really no skill involved, you can just guess. If you are a history buff, like my 83 year old father, and you've been around long enough to really see some stuff, you might have a bit of an edge, but even the best of us is forced to guess at the dates every now and then. The rules are simple, you get a card to start with. The card will list a historical event and the year it occurred. This is the starting point of your time line. With your next card, you need to decide if it happened before or after the date of your first card. From there you are building a time line, deciding where in your series of cards the events occurred, the first player to build a correct 10 card time line wins. It's simple, doesn't require keeping score, a timer or rolling dice, everything is in one compact box that is easy to take on the road to a friend's house. I will say you need a lot of table space to play this, laying out your cards in a line, especially if you have 4 or more players, takes up a lot of real estate, so pick a big table! Overall I think CHRONOLOGY will become a welcomed addition to your family game nights. Game play is quick, so you can use this as an ice breaker or filler at a party. You can even decide to build a shorter time line of only 5 or 8 cards, depending on how much time you have. It is especially fun at a New Year's Eve party, while waiting to usher in a new year, it's fun to reflect on all that has already happened! ... show more

  • Good quality
The cards are of good quality. The game itself is fun for history buffs, but maybe not for kids. The box is a bit bulky, but not unreasonable. A good gift for anyone who loves American and world history.
