About the game
Trekking Through History sends players on a three-day tour through human history using a time machine, visiting historical events across three rounds. Each turn, players choose one event to visit and spend hours there, earning itinerary points and Time Crystals that bend the space-time continuum for future turns. Bonus points come from visiting events in chronological order. The player with the most points after three rounds wins.

What we like

- Quick, clean turns built around card drafting.
Keep in mind
- Relatively light strategic depth for veteran gamers.
