CHRONOLOGY - The Game Where You Make History - 20th Anniversary Edition, Blue1025

A a recent family gathering, 3 generations sat down to play CHRONOLOGY and all enjoyed. Ages ranged from 10 years old to 83 years old. I love that there is really no skill involved, you can just guess. If you are a history buff, like my 83 year old father, and you've been around long enough to really see some stuff, you might have a bit of an edge, but even the best of us is forced to guess at the dates every now and then. The rules are simple, you get a card to start with. The card will list a historical event and the year it occurred. This is the starting point of your time line. With your next card, you need to decide if it happened before or after the date of your first card. From there you are building a time line, deciding where in your series of cards the events occurred, the first player to build a correct 10 card time line wins. It's simple, doesn't require keeping score, a timer or rolling dice, everything is in one compact box that is easy to take on the road to a friend's house. I will say you need a lot of table space to play this, laying out your cards in a line, especially if you have 4 or more players, takes up a lot of real estate, so pick a big table! Overall I think CHRONOLOGY will become a welcomed addition to your family game nights. Game play is quick, so you can use this as an ice breaker or filler at a party. You can even decide to build a shorter time line of only 5 or 8 cards, depending on how much time you have. It is especially fun at a New Year's Eve party, while waiting to usher in a new year, it's fun to reflect on all that has already happened!

Fun game. Easy to learn and play, and you don’t have to know exact dates, but a good historical knowledge is very helpful. Fun to play teams.

Fun game. It’s amazing what year you think something happened in and then find out you were way off! We play this a lot as there are many cards and all different decades!

Great game. Good if you know some history, but also calls on logic and intuition.

Great game! Makes you think about history. Games usually last 10-15 minutes.

Not for anyone under 21! You must know history to like this game. Excellent conversation starter and fun to play.

This is So quick and easy to learn...less than a minute. Full of fun facts and it was a hit at Christmas and a work party, history fans or not.

Interesting and amusing.
