Well, in any case, it was after glasses for sure... although... And what if it was from somewhere between the telegraph and the telephone?”That's the kind of question you'll be facing each time you want to place one of your medallions in Timeline. There's only one goal here: to be the first to have correctly placed all of their medallions. Timeline can be played alone thanks to its two solo modes (a classic mode and a very stressful against the clock mode!), but can also play up to 4 players with no issues, around the iPad. There is no need to pass the iPad around and loads of party fun is guaranteed!Under its very simple appearances, Timeline hides a real gaming principle of choice and risk taking. Of course, the educational and learning aspects aren't forgotten, either, as each game allows players to learn or relearn (sometimes with a few surprises) the key dates of History, but also some a bit more anecdotal, such as the invention of the computer mouse.Indeed, a short text is often available in relation to the item in question. You'll be able to learn more about the airplane, the Ford Model T, the telegraph or safety matches, all without interrupting the flow of the game.In addition to all that, Timeline is an invitation, after each game, to document and further one's knowledge on the periods of History seen during the game. Thus, when the question of “replayability” is asked, it's easy to answer that if a player knows all the dates by heart, what that player has lost in “replayability”, they've gained in knowledge!This application includes 116 items to date in the category of Inventions, 13 items in the category of Monuments, 5 items in the category of Music and 10 items in the category of Arts & Literature. Over 300 items are already available in the Appstore, and many more are to come!Timeline is a simple game for the whole family, in which each player has to get rid of their medallions by placing them in a chronological line. On each medallion is the drawing of an invention, a discovery, an historical event, a famous artwork, etc. and its name. If a player places their medallion correctly in time, there's one medallion less in front of them, and they get that closer to victory. If, on the other hand, they get it wrong, a new medallion is given to them. The game ends when a player has placed all of their medallions correctly.

The "real" game and it's expansions (which clocks in around 330 cards) would cost you over $30.

Dont fancy buying a game which i may or may not be able to play Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #13 Gabrien, Feb 8, 2012 This definitely looks interesting, but I have a couple of concerns preventing me from picking it up right now. The major, by far, is the amount of content included, even with the two expansions. 300? Paltry for a game of this kind. 3000 would be more like it, and I'd prefer if it were included in the original purchase price even if it cost more. Buying a new game only to immediately be greeted with options to purchase expansions just makes me feel like I'm being purposely nickel & dimed. Another concern to a much lesser degree is the advertising noticeable in the video. I don't want this in my paid apps period. Putting this on the wishlist for now. Witlogic Well-Known Member Jun 25, 2010 54 7 8 #14 Witlogic, Feb 8, 2012 Great Couch Game This is a great game to play sitting next to somebody while watching TV. The game changes overtime from a game based on deduction to a memory game, which is still interesting but different than how the game feels initially. I really enjoy the game, but do feel that the expansion packs are required to keep things interesting. Even with the expansion packs there are categories that only have a few cards in them. ijonesfr New Member Feb 13, 2012 3 0 0 #15 ijonesfr, Feb 13, 2012 Hello All, First at all, THANKS for your comments. I'm one of this Game developer and I'm always HAPPY to read the nice comments after long development months. YES, WE APOLOGY about a trouble on some OS Languages like German, Spanish and other. The trouble is already resolved and we are just waiting Mr Apple done the new version validation. If you want a TEMPORARY turn workaround, on the main menu, click the line #3 and you can change le language to English. It will TEMPORARY resolve your trouble. Again and again, THANKS for your nice comments. This will help us to make new cards to enjoy you, and new games too. Do not forget to put a comment on the AppStore soon you are happy with the next update please. Cheers, Stef thevagrant Well-Known Member Jun 8, 2009 631 0 0 #16 thevagrant, Feb 13, 2012 Thanks for the workaround, it worked perfectly. Well actually it is a bit more complicated than what you said: the game was bought on the dutch appstore but the default langage was english. However, I got in the menu, change to dutch, then changed back to english, and every menu appears. Now, I'm off to buy the expansions and try the game at least! I hope you'll do well enough to keep on bringing boardgames conversions to the appstore! ijonesfr New Member Feb 13, 2012 3 0 0 #17 ijonesfr, Feb 14, 2012 Dear Players, Good news, Apple has already validate the update. Please, update and let me know if it is right for you. Again, I apology about this trouble. Cheers, Stef Othor New Member Feb 14, 2012 3 0 0 #18 Othor, Feb 14, 2012 Bought this today, version 1.01.However it appears to be bugged.On the main page no letters are shown in the item list eg credits, info, game play, tutorial etc, pressing the items leads to the correct screen, however in the game screen no cards appear (despite that I also bought the 2 expansion packs) and not set can be chosen. Going to the tutorial page and pressing Go leads to a small message appearing stating that i need at least 90 cars to play.Hence it is impossible to play the game. As my son owns the English first card game box which he loves to play, this is a great disappointment. Please advice/help. thevagrant Well-Known Member Jun 8, 2009 631 0 0 #19 thevagrant, Feb 14, 2012 Try to select the third line of the menu, and it should get you to the langage selection screen. Choose anything and go back to the main menu. Are the options available now? Othor New Member Feb 14, 2012 3 0 0 #20 Othor, Feb 14, 2012 Already tried,does not work.
