About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Ready to become time detectives? Timeline Twist brings a fresh twist to the classic Timeline series, but this time, it's all about cooperation! Forget the competition, because here we team up to unravel the mysteries of history.
The goal is straightforward: get rid of all your cards by placing historical events on the timeline in the correct order or by wisely discarding them. You and your friends will coordinate plays, discuss the best dates for each event, and hope not to mess up the timeline. It's a game that tests your memory and deduction skills, but the coolest part is that everyone wins or loses together. Perfect for family game nights or with friends who enjoy a light and fun challenge.
If you already love the idea of Timeline but wanted a more collaborative experience, this one's for you. It's fast-paced, easy to learn, and guarantees plenty of laughs as you try not to break the timeline. Each game is a new historical adventure where communication and teamwork are the keys to victory. Let's put our thinking caps on and show that we know everything about history (or at least have a blast trying)?
