About this game
Timeline: Events strips history down to one deceptively simple question per card: does this happen before or after what is already on the table? You hold a hand of event cards showing only the picture and title, no date in sight, and place one each turn into the growing timeline you are all building together. Guess right and the card stays, guess wrong and it is gone, replaced by a fresh draw. First to empty their hand wins, but the real fun is the table groaning in unison every time a date lands somewhere nobody expected.
