| Timeline: Diversity Asmodee |
The invention of the tank, the 1st appearance of a Superhero, and the invention of the coffee maker… Can you put all these events correctly on the timeline? With Timeline, learn the answer to this question and thousands more. Each card has a different historical event and on the opposite side its associated date.
The goal of Timeline is to be the first to rid your hand of cards. A timeline is started in the center of the table with a starting card date side up. In turn players will select a card from their hand only seeing the written historical event and places it before or after a card already in the timeline. The card is then flipped over and the date is revealed. If it is correctly placed in the timeline it remains. However, if it is not in the correct date sequence that card is discarded and the player must take a card from the draw pile into their hand. Be the first to place all your cards and you win.
