It's About Time Card Game

Based on the game Timeline by Frédéric Henry, this game contains cards that focus on key dates in American history between 1020 and 2008.

This game was developed to be used alongside the Bill of Rights Institute's BRI Jr. Resources.

About the Game: 

Game can be played with 2 or more players. Gameplay takes 10-20 minutes per round. 

Game Play:

Deal each player 3-5 cards. Use the remaining cards to create a draw deck.  Players leave the cards face up on the table in front of them during the game; they do not pick them up. It is okay for other players to see the cards. Take one card from the draw deck and place it face up in the middle of the play area. 

To begin the game, the first player lays a card where they believe it goes next to the existing card to create a timeline from left to right in the direction of the card in the play area. The player turns the card over to reveal the date.  If the card is correctly placed on the timeline, as indicated by the dates being in order, they leave it. If it is in the incorrect place, they move it to the correct place on the timeline and draw a card. Then, the play passes to the next person to take their turn with the same steps: place a card and reveal the date. Then, correct the timeline and draw if necessary.  The first player to place all their cards wins the game.
