Time Chase

About this board game

Time Chase is a trick-taking game for 3–6 players that plays in about 30 minutes. Set in a laboratory where time travel has just been unlocked, it puts players in a race to control three events in the timeline.

Your breakthrough invention could revolutionize the world, but scientific colleagues are attempting to travel back in time and claim credit for your work. To secure your rightful place in history, you must contend with rivals who can alter what has already happened.

In this game, tricks are treated as events in the timeline. The twist is that players are allowed to travel back to previous tricks and change their outcomes. A past event is therefore not necessarily settled, creating opportunities to revisit the timeline and affect who controls it.

Every change matters as players compete to establish control over enough events to win. The first player to control three events in the timeline is the winner, making the race for dominance clear from the beginning.

• Players: 3–6
• Playing time: approximately 30 minutes

Released in 2019, Time Chase combines a familiar trick-taking foundation with a time-travel twist. If you enjoy the idea of changing previous outcomes while racing to claim control of the timeline, this contest for scientific credit offers a focused and distinctive game experience.
