Timeline: Inventions
Timeline: Inventions is a card game played using 55 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 their 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.

What the community says about Timeline: Inventions
Sin enfundar (Nerea)
Juego de confeccionar una línea temporal con las fechas de determiandos inventos de la historia de la humanidad. El objetivo es quedarse sin cartas. Hay 110 posibles. Supongo que no tiene mucha rejugabilidad, pero es un juego educativo y recomendable. Muy familiar y recomendable. Tecnicamente el juego es de Paula desde hace años, pero he decidido añadirlo al catálogo de mi colección el 20/04/2025
juego super sencillo de explicar y jugar, uno queda con la sensación de no saber nada y de ¿porqué no se me ocurrió inventar un juego así?
Cortar puntas
Buen filler para partidas con poco jugones.
