About this game
Timeline: Science & Discoveries hands you a fistful of cards showing famous inventions and breakthroughs, no dates anywhere in sight, and dares you to slot them into history in the right order. On your turn you place one card into the growing timeline wherever you think it belongs, then flip it over to find out if you were right. Nail it, and the card stays put, building the timeline further. Miss, and it's gone, replaced by a fresh draw. First person to empty their hand wins, but the timeline gets meaner as it fills up, more gaps to squeeze between, more chances to second-guess yourself. Genuinely educational and genuinely tense, in a box you can finish before the kettle boils.
