Deadlines

About this board game

Deadlines is a 30-minute game for 1–10 players in which you classify 36 famous characters according to their dates of birth, dates of death, and length of life.

The game turns familiar names into a test of chronology and calculation. Your task is to determine where each character belongs by comparing when they were born, when they died, and how long they lived.

• Classify 36 famous characters
• Compare dates of birth
• Compare dates of death
• Consider each character’s length of life
• Win by making the fewest mistakes

The characters featured in Deadlines include a broad selection of recognizable names, such as Marie Curie, Filip des 2be3, Adolf Hitler, and Lolo Ferrari. Their lives provide the information you need to make accurate classifications and avoid errors.

Because the winner is determined by mistakes, every decision matters. A confident answer is only useful when it places a character correctly according to the relevant birth date, death date, or lifespan.

Designed for up to ten players and playable in around half an hour, Deadlines offers a compact challenge based entirely on famous characters and the timelines of their lives. Whether played with one person or a larger group, the goal remains clear: classify carefully and finish with fewer mistakes than everyone else.
