Chrononauts
Players take on the roles of time travelers with unique identities and secret missions, jumping backward and forward through history to visit famous events and peek into possible futures. Play involves collecting anomalous artifacts and works of art, manipulating key historical events, and managing paradoxes that arise when the timeline shifts. Victory requires restoring or reaching a particular home timeline or achieving an alternate objective tied to a player’s secret mission. The game plays as a fast, card-driven experience where cards represent events, artifacts, and timeline changes that alter the shared historical record as the round progresses.

Ianthepez3.5 A neat little idea, but a few plays is probably all it will get.
