I meant to post this up here a while ago, but my friend has a Kickstarter going, the game is quite a bit of fun, and it has already successfully funded. He's $1000 away from the only stretch goal, which includes a bunch of goodies, so I wanted to post it up here so some of you history enthusiasts can get in on the action. Give it a look, there are only 6 hours left.

Personally, I'm in for 3 copies, 2 are gifts to family members who love this style of game. Give the video a look, and the pledges are very inexpensive and wallet friendly. I can assure you, if you like history, bluffing, and screwing your opponents over, this game is for you!

I really wish him luck but I can't back it.

I have an issue though with the use of movie and other pictures that they don't have rights to being modified to be used for cards. They aren't being used in a parody and I wouldn't consider them a derivative work since they are being used to portray what the original piece did.

All images for things he does not have rights for will have pictures changed. I just asked him. Copyright issues will not be a problem. I'm actually playing the game with him now. If you have questions, ask away.

Chronoscope needed its own game, Reaper did well here.


Sarcasm emote....

This sounds almost exactly like the card game Timeline from Asmodee Games, except Timeline is a line and this is a circle. And like Timeline, I imagine this has limited replayability once people are familiar with the cards. Trivia games tend to be great the first time or 2 and then not to work too well after the players involved have learned the answers

Well, game is funded. He'll be doing preorders at some point soon too.

Grot, I'm not sure what you're getting at...are you suggesting Reaper gets all rights to any game that has the Latin name for "time"...so I assume trolling? If I'm mistaken, apologies, but that's what it looks like.

Kal, I'm not familiar with the Asmodee game, but I've played about ten games of this one, and the only card I can ever remember is Jesus's birth.
