Early American Chrononauts Game
Change the course of American History using time warps in this version that includes the timeline of 1770-1904 in our nation’s story. Like the original version, experience three strategic ways to win!
What would YOU do with a Time Machine? Would you stop the displacement of Native Americans from their lands? Prevent the Great Chicago Fire? Keep the Spanish-American War from happening? These are just a few of the possibilities in Early American Chrononauts. You play a time traveler trying to get back to your unique timeline by changing some of history's biggest linchpins and watching the way those changes ripple into the future. An excellent discussion starter about how historic events are intertwined. This version covers US history from 1770 to 1916.
If you've ever wanted to change the events of history, then Chrononauts is a unique experience you will have to try! It's a card game based around 32 TimeLine cards (1865-1999 in the original game; 1770-1904 for Early American). The cards are arranged in a grid, chronologically. Each card is labeled with a major event and the reverse side of the card holds an "alternate reality" event. For example, the 1865 card is "Lincoln Assassinated" while the reverse side is "Lincoln Wounded." At the beginning of the game, you set up the TimeLine and each player draws a mission card, an identity card and 3 cards from the deck. On each player's turn, they will draw a card and play a card. Cards include Artifacts (objects to collect), Gadgets (special powers), Actions (single-use events), Timewarps (special actions), Inverters (which change history), and Patches (to repair history). There are multiple ways to win, including collecting three artifacts, altering the TimeLine to include 3 specific events, or holding 10 cards in your hand at the end of a turn. Yes, there's a lot going on, but wow, what a cool game! The Original Chrononauts and Early American Chrononauts are standalone games, each set in a different time period while the Gore Years Expansion takes the Original game into the 21st century with 11 new cards.
