## Description
In Time Barons, you step into the shoes of one of the time barons, shadowy figures who have manipulated humanity's destiny since the dawn of time. The goal? Defeat your rivals and become the sole ruler of a unified human race. Forget morality; war, religion, and technology are merely tools to achieve your ends in this epic battle. Each turn presents a strategic decision: will you invest heavily in technology for a quick advantage, or prefer to attack with brute force and primitive tactics? Build a solid economy or be relentless in your aggression? The game offers a range of crazy tactics, like spreading the bubonic plague in your opponent's robotics lab or using computer networks to accelerate follower conversion in a medieval church. The second edition, published by WizKids, brought balance improvements, updated graphics, and 50 new expansion cards, increasing player support to up to 4. Prepare for tactical card combat where planning, quick thinking, and a pinch of luck determine the victor. It's a brutal struggle, but the best planner wins!
