About the game
What you do in a play session
Alright, folks! Ready for a mind-bending trip through time? In Time Chase, you're the brilliant mind behind the invention that unlocked time travel. But oh no, some lab colleagues are trying to steal the credit! Your mission? Stop them and secure your rightful place in history, of course!
Time Chase is a trick-taking card game with a super special twist: you can travel back in time! Yes, you read that right. Each round, you not only play your card to win the current trick but can also jump back to previous tricks – which we call 'events' – to change their outcome. It's like having a time-control remote in your hands!
The goal is straightforward: be the first to control three of these historical events. To achieve this, you'll need good timing, strategy, and maybe a bit of luck to predict your rivals' moves. The game is quick, with sessions lasting around 30 minutes, perfect for gathering your friends and having a laugh while trying to sabotage each other.
With simple components and easy-to-learn rules, Time Chase is a great choice for those who enjoy card games with a cool theme and a unique mechanic. If you like challenges where you need to think one step ahead and still have fun with a good sci-fi story, this game is for you. Get ready for a race against time (and against your friends!).
