Chronicler (2015)

About this game

Chronicler is a civilization game that lets you step back in time of history. But unlike other civilization-building games, your ability to develop new Technologies is also influenced by the advances of the other civilizations around you. Your goal is to have the most advanced civilization at the end of the game. The game is played over 3 eras. Chronicler can be played in two modes: Age of Peace or Age of Conflict.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
