Timeline

In Timeline you are a daring time traveller trying to fix timeline of the after the Dastardly Dr Nefarious blew it up with his destroy-o-matic. You now need to piece back together history, making sure that every event is in exactly the correct order.

In Timeline, you have to try and be the first person with no cards by trying to place cards which represented events in history before and after each other on a timeline. At the start of the game you four

cards and you take it in turns placing trying to place them down in the correct time order, but beware if you place the card in the wrong position, you will have to draw a new one, making the turn useless.

Personally, I think that Timeline is a pretty fun filler game to play in-between other, larger games. Due to it's focus on dates, small children would probably find it frustrating, as they get every card constantly wrong. However one way to make sure the adults don't win every time is to, give them more cards to get rid of while children get less. In terms of the gameplay, it does get quite tense at the end as you try and race to place your last card down before your opponent and claim victory. But the lack of player interaction means that it does get dull after several games. Overall I would give it a 6 out of 10.
