📖 About This Game

Time travel exists in the 22nd century, and warring political factions hire freelance time travelers — a.k.a., timelancers — to change the past in order to reshape the future. In Timelancers, you become one of these freelancers and travel through time to capture events for your faction. Collect the resources you'll need for your mission from locations in the city of the future, Janusburg, then use your time machine to revise or repeat historical events from different eras. Of course you're not the only one working to reshape the future. Other timelancers will affect your progress based on their actions. It's a race against other timelancers in order to be the first to accomplish your goals! Timelancers is a time travel-themed, set-collection board game that utilizes worker movement and a modular game board. Players gather resources and travel back through time collecting real historical events in order to earn victory points. —description from the publisher
