Chronowright

Slot each event into the timeline in the right order — and bet on every placement before you commit.

How to play

You're dealt historical events spanning science, war, invention, exploration and more. For each one, decide where it belongs in the growing timeline and place a wager on how sure you are. Correct placements score by your bet; misjudged ones cost you. Work through the deck for the best run.

• Events span many domains and a wide range of years, BCE and CE
• Higher wagers reward confidence but punish mistakes
• Your accuracy across the deck drives the final score

Tips & strategy

• Anchor unknown events between two you're sure of to narrow the slot
