## Description
Get ready for a trip through time with Timeline Challenge! If you enjoy testing your historical knowledge and pulling a fast one on your friends, this game is for you. The concept is straightforward: each card features a historical event, but without the date visible. Your mission is to place it in the correct spot on the timeline already laid out on the table. If you get it right, the card stays, and you get rid of it. If you're wrong, tough luck, the card goes back into the deck, and you draw another. 

The 'Challenge' adds an extra layer of fun with a progressive board. You advance on the board based on your success (or luck!) and need to guess in which time period the event occurred. There are four different types of challenges that change the game depending on your position on the track. And for those lagging behind, there are even some catch-up mechanics to help them reach the leaders. 

The coolest part is that, even though it's a game with its own cards, it's highly compatible with other games in the Timeline series. You can mix everything up and create even bigger challenges! It's a fast-paced game, easy to learn, and guarantees plenty of laughs and debates about who knows more history. Perfect for playing with family or friends, especially if you enjoy trivia and a bit of bluffing. The language dependency is minimal, so fun is guaranteed for everyone!
