About the game

What you do in a play session

Time Machine Rocket is a fast, simple, and fun card game that blends strategy and luck with a dash of direct player interaction. The time travel theme is the cherry on top, bringing hilarious encounters between historical figures like Leonardo da Vinci and Bruce Lee. The goal? Assemble the best team of historical personalities, gathering five different types (Humanitarian, Military, Creative, Scientist, and Explorer) to win. On your turn, you decide whether to risk drawing another card or settle with what you have—but watch out, rockets can launch you to new decks, and duplicate cards become mandatory! The player with the highest points from their team wins. It's perfect for those who enjoy light games with a sprinkle of humor and that urge to throw a 'take that' at friends.
