It's "about time" this game was invented! January 10, 2008
It's nice to see a new concept for a board game (not just a different version of monopoly). Everyone getting to answer each question keeps it interesting all the way through - even when you're asked to give the date of really obscure events, the closest date wins so it's always worth guessing.
Nice balance of skill and luck - I can imagine when you get the hang of the time cards you'll be able to win by scuppering even the best guessers.
Can't wait to play it again - even with my lack of historical knowledge!
Better than Trivial Pursuits December 27, 2007
This game has a really well designed balance of skill, chance and skullduggery and is dead easy to play, either individually or in teams. Reverses of fortune can happen dramatically as players unexpectedly find that half of their winnings are up for grabs through the throw of the dice, or a challenge to a duel, or the play of a joker by another team. This is really good fun, well presented, and in many ways better than Trivial Pursuits.
A classic in the making December 27, 2007
I loved this game! It is beautifully produced and such a good mixture of knowledge and chance. We played it on Xmas day - a group of family and friends between 20 and 60 years old - and everyone was fully engaged by it. We played in three teams of 2-3 people per team and were able to get into it quickly, learning the more complex aspects as we went along.It is basically a game where you guess the date of historical or recent happenings.... but our rather tenuous hold on history didn't spoil the fun! There were numerous opportunities for cunning and luck to make and break your fortune of tokens, and plenty of interest in the wide variety of questions asked. The attractive board and novel question card holder all added to our enjoyment and it will take us a long long time to get through the questions available.
I would imagine it could be played at a rather higher intellectual level by history students and help people of all ages to construct a mind map of our pasts - but for us we just had a good time and look forward to playing it again.
Trivs on Steroids! December 4, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
No more getting bored stiff while Grandma & Grandad spend for ever arguing over exactly which year it was. With this game, everyone answers the question and they've 30 seconds to do it; closest to the answer wins the pot.
Add to that the Timecards for some great player interaction (and skullduggery) and you've a game that knocks your bog-standard Trivs into a cocked hat!
The quality of components and print is really, really good. This is a classy game!
