Ginger Fox Placing The Past History Themed Card Game - A Game of Time & Risk - How Well Do You Know Past Events?

I spotted this when looking for a father's day gift for my dad, who has always loved history. My husband and I played it with my parents immediately after opening, and we all enjoyed it. It is challenging and educational--a great game for smart people!

A very fun game for everyone. Tests your knowledge of history in a competitive sometimes raucous way.

This was a gift for a history teacher who was delighted and is using the game in class.

What a fun game to play with the folks.Challenge your mind to remember back to date in history.

My family and I really love this game. We like trivia and history, so this game was a natural fit. I highly recommend it.

Simple ideas are usually the best and this is testament to that. We played with three adults and it moved along nicely. The idea being you pick a group of cards and put them in chronological order before turning them over and seeing if you're correct. Other players can 'ring the bell' for a steal if they think you got it wrong. You can choose to ignore cards if you're unsure and place them in the middle and as the game goes on you can take some cards from the middle if you like your chances with them for extra points. You keep going until the preferred amount of rounds are complete.We decided to ignore the Bell part as we felt it wasn't needed but this element would ensure all players are playing even when it isn't their turn. Saying that, only one play can challenge someone and ring the bell. Some of the events are quite obscure so I don't think this game would suit younger players... although they might get lucky! The game is marketed as 3+ players but I think if you had six or more then it would take far too long for players turns to come around and I expect one player would be quicker on the bell and beat everyone else to it, making the game very one sided.

Bought this game as a replacement for one given away.Have played it, in teams rather than as individuals, with an elderly relative with dementia. He could take part as he could contribute, as he was very good in remembering some events. It also stimulates conversation so it is a good game to take on visits.Of course, also very enjoyable as a game played as the instructions direct too (which is what it was originally bought for). Doesn't take up a lot of space when playing , small to transport, and the games can last as long as desired.

Never judge a game but it's cover! The best conversation encourager at a dinner party ever

Could do with some more ancient history, most of the cards are for events in the 20th century.

Christmas afternoon brain teaser. Very popular.
