Timeline: Americana (2014)

About this game

From the first Stetson hat to the unveiling of the first iPad, America's history and its popular culture have gone hand in hand. See if you can remember when the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth, or when Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic. American popular history was never this much fun! Timeline: Americana takes the players through a historical tour of the popular history of the country. Each player has a hand of cards, and they take turns trying to place those cards correctly into the growing timeline. Guess correctly to get rid of all your cards and win! Themes included are: Sports, Events, Music, Inventions, and Cinema

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
