inventions

Timeline: inventions is a card game played using 109 cards. Each card depicts an invention on both sides, with the year in which that invention was created on only one side. Players take turns placing a card from their hand in a row on the table. After placing the card, the player reveals the date on it. If the card was placed correctly with the date in chronological order with all other cards on the table, the card stays in place; otherwise the card is removed from play and the player takes another card from the deck. The first player to get rid of all his cards by placing them correctly wins. If multiple players go out in the same round, then everyone else is eliminated from play and each of those players are dealt one more card for another round of play. If only one player has no cards after a bonus round, he wins; otherwise play continues until a single player goes out"Was the can opener invented before or after the light bulb? Well, after glasses for sure... right? ... And was it created at some point between the telegraph and telephone? In Timeline, these are exactly the kind of questions you'll ask yourself each time you try to play one of your cards. The first player to get rid of all his cards by placing them correctly wins."--, Container
