Easter Gift Guide - Buffalo Games Chronology Review & Giveaway




Chronology Chronology is the game about putting famous and fun events into a timeline. No need to know specific dates, just the correct sequence!  In this game, the first player to create a timeline of 10 event cards wins, and with more than 850 events and facts, the combinations are endless. So you think mayonnaise was invented after the telephone. But was it before or after Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address? Was Seinfeld’s series finale before or after Dolly the sheep was cloned? Guess right about where the event falls and your timeline grows, but a bigger timeline means it’s tougher to correctly place the next event. It’s a simple premise that’s deviously challenging.

 Our Thoughts

My nine-year-old likes things about history and likes knowing dates things happen.  Numbers are a game to him and it keeps him thinking.  So when we were able to get Chronology from Buffalo Games, it was a blessing.  While R does like playing other board games, this was also educational which is something as a family we strive for daily. Things like this game make learning fun!

The game comes with a bunch of cards and the objective is to put everything in chronological order. The cards each have an event in history on either side. Choosing either the blue side or yellow side, you must put the 10 events in order.  Once you think you have the right order, you check the facts and if you do, you win. Retailing at $29.95 this game is well worth the money if you have history buffs or family that loves to learn!
