This super fun card game challenges you to arrange historical events in chronological order, but with a special twist: bluffing is just as important as your knowledge. Each Anno Domini set comes with 340 cards, each with a historical event on one side and the year (and sometimes the exact date) on the other. At the start, each player receives nine cards (or fewer, if you want a quicker game) and can only see the event description. The objective is simple: on your turn, you place a card on the table, trying to fit it into the chronological sequence being formed. But the fun begins when someone doubts! Instead of adding a card, a player can challenge the order of events. If the order is correct, the 'skeptic' receives two cards and skips a turn. If it's incorrect, the player who accepted the wrong order is the one who takes three cards. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins! Anno Domini: Sex & Crime focuses on historical events related to famous (and some hilarious!) crimes and more adult themes, guaranteeing good laughs. It can be played standalone or combined with other sets in the Anno Domini series for an even more epic experience. Oh, and a detail: there's no English edition, but it can be a great excuse to practice your German! ## FAQ ### How many players can participate in Anno Domini: Sex & Crime?
