What would YOU do with a Time Machine? Would you stop the
sinking of the Titanic? Prevent the assassination of JFK? These are just a
few of the possibilities in Chrononauts, the award-winning card game of time
travel. To win, you must change history at key points called Linchpins, so that
history transforms into the Alternate Reality your character calls home. You can
also win by collecting a specific set of Artifacts, such as a live dinosaur, the
Mona Lisa, and an unpublished Shakespearean play. But be careful - if you create
too many paradoxes, you could destroy the entire universe!
In this game,
you are a Time Traveler, with a Secret Mission, a Secret Identity, and a very
important job to do: Paradox Repair. You can win by fixing enough Paradoxes,
gathering up the three rare and amazing Artifacts listed on your Mission card,
or adjusting history in the three ways necessary to allow your character to
return to the alternate reality from which he or she originally came.
The
constant changing of history is tracked by a special layout of 32 cards, called
the TimeLine, which functions rather like a gameboard. The three ways to win
provide for several different plotlines and layers of action, but you can also
split the game up into two less complicated games: Solonauts (The Solitaire Game
of Changing History) and Artifaxx (The Fluxx-style Game of Collecting Amazing
Stuff).
