## Description
Hey there, history buffs and challenge lovers! Chronology is that card game that puts you in charge of building an epic timeline, testing your knowledge of historical events in a super fun way. The idea is simple but addictive: each card features an event and the year it occurred. At the start of the game, each player receives two cards to begin their timeline, already arranged in chronological order. From then on, each round, a new event card is revealed to you. Your job is to guess where this card fits into your timeline, among the events you already have. Got it right? The card is yours and joins your collection, expanding your line. Got it wrong? No drama, the chance passes to the next player, who tries their luck with the same card. The first player to collect ten cards (or five, depending on the version you're playing) in their timeline, all in perfect chronological order, wins! It's a game that mixes memory, a bit of smart guessing, and a lot of fun, perfect for those who like to learn while playing or just want to show off their historical knowledge.
