This July, Asmodee Editions will publish an expansion for Timeline to be entitled Discoveries. Details are mighty slim outside of the announcement of the expansion itself, the tin art, and the release month. For those not familiar with the original game here’s the blurb.
From Asmodee:
Guess the date of creation for dozens of inventions!
Was the light bulb invented after or before glasses? With Timeline, learn the answer to this question and thousands of others by comparing your knowledge or hunches to historic reality. At the beginning of the game, players all get the same number of cards representing monuments, inventions, etc. At the back of each card is a date.
To begin, one card is randomly drawn from those not given to players. This is placed in the middle of the table, date-side up and is the starting point of a chronological line which will slowly be built by players. The first player then chooses one of their cards. If the player thinks that the invention on their card came before that of the initial card, the player places their card to the left of the initial card. The player’s card is then turned date-side up. If the player was right, it remains on the table. Otherwise, the card is discarded and a new one must be drawn to replace it. Play proceeds clockwise. The more cards which are correctly played, the harder it is to correctly place new ones!
The first player to get rid of their cards wins.
Features: -An easily portable format which can be taken anywhere -eye-catching artwork
