Buffalo Games - Chronology - The Game Where You Make History - Historical Timeline Trivia for 2+ Players, Ages 14+

This is a great game and was as expected. It is a good family night game but not a long strategy game and super easy to play so its accessible and does not require an all night commitment if that is an issue. I was worried my young adult son wouldnt like it or not do well but he liked it and won one game. The idea is very simple, you are given an event in history but that might be cultural too like what year did salsa become the biggest selling condiment or when was bubble wrap invented, and you dont have to really know the exact year but where it falls on your timeline which is always changing. This works then for younger people who will not know when JR got shot lol but often you have a sense of when something was and can guess the range although also you can be laughably 100 years off and so it does spark laughter and conversations about history too. I guess at some point you go through all the cards but honestly no one is going to remember all the dates and its really your random timeline that makes some more difficult than others so I dont see an issue reusing them. this will be a regular in our rotation.

It is a great, lowkey game to play that combines a little luck, a little trivia knowledge, and a little critical thinking. Fun.

This is by far our favorite family game. We are a bunch of history nerds but I had no idea how much they would enjoy this game! It’s easy to play and everyone can participate because of the random timelines created during play of the game. We also, often play with teams. The cards are durable and it’s a great price for lots of fun and some education too. Highly recommend.

This is a classic game for a reason. Probably not something a 10 year old would enjoy, but perfect for any teens or adults interested in history. And it’s easy and fun to play for everyone else, too.

A very fun and educational game. My son in law loves it. I don’t think it would be great for kids under 16 ….just too much world knowledge. It is great for adults !

Not for anyone under 21! You must know history to like this game. Excellent conversation starter and fun to play.

This game is so much fun! Even for non-history lovers it’s a fun game. I got this for my dad who is a history buff and played with my family multiple times. It’s a simple concept and even my son could join in on the fun! Great gift and fun to play!

A a recent family gathering, 3 generations sat down to play CHRONOLOGY and all enjoyed. Ages ranged from 10 years old to 83 years old. I love that there is really no skill involved, you can just guess. If you are a history buff, like my 83 year old father, and you've been around long enough to really see some stuff, you might have a bit of an edge, but even the best of us is forced to guess at the dates every now and then. The rules are simple, you get a card to start with. The card will list a historical event and the year it occurred. This is the starting point of your time line. With your next card, you need to decide if it happened before or after the date of your first card. From there you are building a time line, deciding where in your series of cards the events occurred, the first player to build a correct 10 card time line wins. It's simple, doesn't require keeping score, a timer or rolling dice, everything is in one compact box that is easy to take on the road to a friend's house. I will say you need a lot of table space to play this, laying out your cards in a line, especially if you have 4 or more players, takes up a lot of real estate, so pick a big table! Overall I think CHRONOLOGY will become a welcomed addition to your family game nights. Game play is quick, so you can use this as an ice breaker or filler at a party. You can even decide to build a shorter time line of only 5 or 8 cards, depending on how much time you have. It is especially fun at a New Year's Eve party, while waiting to usher in a new year, it's fun to reflect on all that has already happened!

Muy entretenido

Excellent game, a lot of cards, good variety. We just received it and played it for one night, it was fun. Looking forward to going through the rest of the deck!

Lots of fun. I play with my kids in fits and spurts and it’s great fun.

I have an old 90s version of Chronology that had cards ending in the early-mid 1990s. This 20th anniversary set updates the game and introduces other ways of playing. The twin faced cards are an odd choice, though does allow a team play session. Chronology remains a hit at games night and lets you have little anecdotes/jokes at later dates on past sessions.

The game came quickly. My wife and I played it for hours and enjoyed reviewing our lived life history. The game may be tough for young people who don't have a lived history .
