T.I.M.E Stories

Players act as temporal agents sent to prevent paradoxes and protect the timeline. Each mission places the team inside hosts from different eras or realities where players explore illustrated card-based locations, gather items, solve puzzles and face obstacles. Gameplay uses a pool of Temporal Units to move and act; when units run out the team returns to base and retries the scenario with gained knowledge. Runs repeat until the group completes the scenario in as few attempts as possible, balancing narrative roleplaying with strategic optimization. Scenarios unfold through a modular deck and can be saved between sessions.

    Time Stories es un juego del que me habían hablado tan bien (por varias vías diferentes) que no tuve más opción que comprarlo. Leí el reglamento con entusiasmo, y me gustó la limpieza y elegancia de las mecánicas. De hecho tras la primera partida las sensaciones fueron buenas, con interés por descubrir el misterio. Lamentablemente tras las dos siguientes partidas debo decir que el juego no me generó las sensaciones que esperaba. De hecho la sensación es que el juego te va "troleando" tendiéndote trampas y eso al final cansa. El juego se basa en una historia donde debes memorizar qué sitios te dan información relevante y que otros son de relleno. La aparición de enigmas y la interpretación son simplemente anecdóticas. Entiendo que a la gente que no está acostumbrada a jugar a rol le guste, porque realmente el juego está muy bien pensado y mecánicamente está muy bien pulido, pero para quienes conocemos el mundo de los juegos de rol nos sentimos limitados. Intentaré darle una oportunidad con alguna expansión que encuentre de segunda mano, pero de momento la verdad es que es un juego que me da pereza. Resumiendo: es un juego que desearía que me gustase más pero que al final me sabe a poco. -LO MEJOR: Una muy buena aproximación a un juego de Rol. -LO PEOR: Que no es un juego de Rol; El juego te trolea continuamente; Nula rejugabilidad.

    Rather disappointing after the first 2 runs. Narration and phases are pretty similar to other games like Arkham Horror LCG and Mansions of Madness, but this one has much less replayability than those. Nothing particularly fascinating, starting with an investigation that is more like "let's try this, then let's go there and see what happens" than actually finding clues and unravelling a mystery, which would have been much more interesting. So, no big deal after all that hype that preceded it.
