In this game you're a Time Traveler with an unique Identity, a secret Mission, and a very important job: Paradox Repair.

The game is played entirely with cards, but has the feel of a board game since History is represented by a special grid of 32 cards called the TimeLine.

Components

• 32 TimeLine cards
• 14 ID cards
• 10 Mission cards
• 19 Artifact cards
• 18 Inverter cards
• 22 Patch cards
• 14 Action cards
• 9 Timewarp cards
• 2 Gadget cards

Setup

Arrange the 32 double-sided TimeLine cards in an 8x4 grid on the table, according to the Time Index (A1 -8, B1-8, C1-8, and D1-8) located in the lower left corner of each card, with all cards set to True History (i.e. Ripplepoints blue, and Linchpins purple). …

Artifacts

When playing an Artifact, place it face up on the table in front of you. These are amazing items from the Past or Future which only a time traveler can acquire.

Gadgets

When playing a Gadget, place it face up on the table in front of you. Gadgets have their own special features you can use later. Follow the directions on the card.

Actions

When you play an Action card, do whatever it says, then discard it. …

Solonauts

This is a solitaire game in which the challenge is to get eight Chrononauts home on a single pass through the deck. It's a great way to learn the ins and outs the TimeLine when you don't have any opponents on hand for a full game.

Number of Players: one.

Setup

Remove and set aside all the Artifacts, Gadgets, Actions, Timewarps, and Missions. Shuffle the Patches and Inverters together, and set up the TimeLine as usual.

Then deal out eight random ID cards, and arrange them face-up underneath the TimeLine. Finally, deal out five cards from the reduced play deck, and line them up under the characters. …
