Who it's for

Co-op groups who like a time-travel puzzle with a ticking clock and characters who cover each other's gaps.

Not for you if…

Time-travel logic gives you a headache, or you dislike co-ops where one loud planner can drive the table.

Vibe's take

Panicked and clever – you are firefighting in two time frames at once, and the paradox track punishes greed.

About this game
