Ever wondered what would happen if the Industrial Revolution occurred during the era of Pharaohs, or if robots already ruled the world during the Renaissance? In Temporum, this chaos is your playground! You step into the shoes of a time traveler who couldn't care less about the 'official' timeline. Your goal is ambitious: manipulate history, stepping on as many butterflies as necessary, to ensure that the future—the one you call home—is the best possible version under your rule.
The game features a board that displays both the potential paths history could take and the actual path it is currently following. Throughout the game, you'll jump between different eras, using cards to gain money, unlock abilities, or solidify your power in specific time periods. But watch out: it's not enough to be the ruler of every era if you don't have total control in your home time! The secret lies in balance. You must use your influence to secure immediate advantages, but the ultimate goal is to concentrate your supremacy in the final period of the board. It's a fast-paced strategy game with a fascinating sci-fi theme and hand management mechanics that force you to think twice before every move. If you enjoy quick games with deep strategic layers and a mind-bending theme, Temporum is your next obsession!
