## Description
In "Back to the Future: Dice Through Time" the goal is to stop Biff from wreaking temporal havoc after stealing the DeLorean. You and up to three friends become Doc and Marty, hopping through the three movies to fix iconic events and retrieve items scattered across Hill Valley. Each round starts with dice rolls that determine the actions you can take – time‑travel, move members of the Tannen family, or complete memorable scenes. When an event is finished you draw an item card that tells you the year and location where the object must be returned. Returning it lowers the OUTATIME tracker, buying you more time and an Einstein token, which acts as a free action for anyone later. If things get tight you can "ripple" dice by placing them on the board for future players to pick up. After everyone has acted, the OUTATIME marker advances based on the year with the most unresolved events, and paradox tokens are added to those events, speeding up the tracker in later rounds. The win condition is to return all items before the OUTATIME marker hits "Game Over". The game blends dice rolling, cooperative play, and pick‑up‑and‑deliver mechanics, all wrapped in humor and callbacks that will delight fans of the trilogy.
