Description

The history of humankind has been written down for thousands of years. Our technological achievements, geographical discoveries, and the will to prosper are woven into intricate threads spread throughout books that tell the story of our time on Earth. Now you have the chance to shape this story.

Books of Time puts a unique and exciting twist on tableau building, allowing you to construct three great books, each with their own sets of special abilities that you can write, thereby creating incredible combinations. The story of a civilization is now truly at your fingertips.

Books of Time is a game of building books, reading cards in the books in front of you, and climbing progress tracks. On your turn you may:

  • Draw new cards from the offer and add them to your selection of pages.

  • Write pages in your books to gain new abilities and ways to score Victory Points.

  • Read from one of your books to gain resources and Victory Points - write even more pages, climb the progress tracks on the Civilization board - and more!
