Game Arrivals: Oct. 26th – Oct. 31st



Here is this
week’s arrival of games:


New in are 2 more in the Timeline card game series
from Asmodee, Timeline American History and Timeline Americana. As
with the other themes in this series, each can be played as a stand-alone game
or combined with the other themes.

Timeline
 American History
Asmodee
Timeline
 Americana
Asmodee

The goal in 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.


American History – Do you remember when Harvard College or NASA were founded? Was Watergate before Woodstock?  Put your knowledge of American history to the test.

Americana – Test your knowledge of America’s popular past.  Do you remember when the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth, or when Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic?  When was Route 66 established?

You will need to collect energy, recruit new heroes from your collection, and send your team of super heroes into the field to strike at your opponent.  Can you build the more powerful super hero team?
