About the game
Anno Domini is a trivia game that focuses on estimation/guessing and bluffing more than on outright knowledge. Players get a number of cards with historical events (most often very obscure ones) and have to arrange them chronologically on the table by playing one card per turn. If a player thinks there is an error in the sequence of events, he or she can express this doubt instead of playing a card of his own. Depending on the outcome of the subsequent check, either the doubter or the player who put down the previous card is "punished" with additional hand cards. The goal of the game is to get rid of your hand cards as soon as possible. There are quite a few games in the Anno Domini series, each dealing with a different topic ranging from "Inventions" over "Art" or "Coins" to different geographic regions (e.g. Germany, America or now Europe). Even a SdJ edition exists! Each game consists of 340 cards and can be played stand-alone or mixed together with some or all of the other editions.
