Time Stories Gameplay

Time Stories is a more complex game to play so we have provided an overview of what you will be doing throughout this game:

1. The chosen time captain will be responsible for reading the first card.
2. Explore the location by moving your markers to the space of your choice. If one agent decides to enter a location, all other players must do as well.
3. The marks found on the back of a card indicates what is needed to see the card, so if you do not meet the conditions you cannot move your pawn.
4. The agents have a telepathic power that allows them to communicate any information gathered.
5. After a discussion the time captain will spend 1 TU and all other players will perform an action.
6. Actions that can be performed are: Making a characteristic roll, moving your pawn, or doing nothing.
7. If you wish to leave a location, you follow these five steps: Leave the current location, choose a new location, put the first location away, roll the captain die and change the designated time captain.
8. To face a test place your shields below your card on the board.
9. To succeed, you must eliminate all shields.
10. Time Stories can be “saved” and played over multiple sessions so you are able to continue when you choose!
