About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever had a game that makes you feel like a genius or a total amateur in seconds? Well, Deadlines does exactly that! The premise is as simple as it is brilliant: you'll have to organize a group of 36 famous historical figures (from Marie Curie to more controversial characters) along a timeline. The challenge is to correctly classify each one based on three pillars: their birth date, death date, and how long they lived. Sounds easy, right? But don't be fooled, because the time pressure and the mental chaos of trying to recall historical dates can turn your table into a true intellectual battlefield.
The gameplay is fast-paced and perfect for those looking for a card game that doesn't require hours of explanation but can keep everyone engaged. The goal is to be as accurate as possible; whoever makes the fewest mistakes in the final classification wins the glory. It's that trivia-style game with a memory twist that you can play anywhere. Just a heads-up: since the theme involves historical figures, the game relies heavily on prior knowledge or a good translation to ensure no one is left completely lost. If you enjoy general knowledge challenges that work for both family gatherings and friend hangouts, Deadlines is the perfect choice to spice things up. Get your brain ready and good luck trying not to mix up anyone's lifespan!
