How to play
You hold a set of monetary milestones, from early barter through coinage to modern credit. Place the earliest unplaced one onto the timeline; a correct placement extends your chain and unlocks the next era, while a wrong one breaks the chain. Score on chain length, speed and few mistakes.
Place the milestone you think comes earliest next on the timeline
A correct placement unlocks the following era; a wrong one breaks the chain
Use a hint if you're unsure which milestone comes next
Build the longest chain with the fewest mistakes for a top score
Controls

Tips & strategy
When two milestones feel close, reason from cause to effect, coinage precedes paper claims on it
A hint costs nothing but reveals the next correct card, so use it to protect a long chain
Easy, Medium and Hard widen the pool and tighten the eras you must distinguish
