Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the T.I.M.E Stories base game to play Lumen Fidei?
Yes! Like all other T.I.M.E Stories expansions, Lumen Fidei is a standalone scenario that requires the base game (the time deck and receptacles) to be played.
How long does a game of Lumen Fidei typically last?
The duration is variable, but it generally ranges from 90 minutes to a few hours. Time is a crucial factor in the game, and the goal is to solve the mystery within the limit.
How many players can participate in this adventure?
Lumen Fidei, like the base game, is designed for 2 to 4 players. Cooperation is essential for success!
Is the game very difficult? Is it good for T.I.M.E Stories beginners?
It's a moderately to high difficulty scenario. It introduces new mechanics and moral dilemmas that can be challenging, but it's a great experience for those already familiar with the series looking for a new challenge.
What does 'High Language Dependency' mean?
It means the game has a lot of text on the cards and in the rulebook. To fully enjoy the story and rules, it's highly recommended that at least one player has a good command of the game's language.
Can I play Lumen Fidei multiple times and have a different experience?
Replayability is limited. As it's a game focused on uncovering a story and a mystery, the main experience happens the first time you play. Some people enjoy replaying to try and optimize their score or notice details they missed.
What components come in this expansion?
Typically, T.I.M.E Stories expansions include a new deck of locations/events, character sheets, markers, and a rulebook/scenario booklet. Check the detailed product description for the exact list.
