Time Barons

Players take the role of immortal figures vying for control of humanity by manipulating events across four historical eras. Each turn players play and upgrade cards representing followers, technologies, beliefs and weapons, deploy effects that interact across time periods, and direct combat against rival players’ resources. Strategic choices include economic development, direct aggression, and cross-era combos that alter how cards function in other ages. Up to four players contend for dominance using hand management, area control of era boards, and card-driven interactions; expansions add additional cards and options for varied strategies.
