About the game
At last the "ministerians" will be able to live their own experiences as agents of the Ministry of Time in their own homes. In El Ministerio del Tiempo, each player chooses one of the eight main characters of the TV series and tries to accomplish a mission trespassing doors to far away periods, meeting historical characters, recruiting them for their mission, and of course, facing classic enemies such as Lola Mendieta or the Nazis. The player who achieves more points will have a good chance of succeeding Salvador at the head of the Ministry once he retires.

The listed playing time for El Ministerio del Tiempo is 45–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists El Ministerio del Tiempo for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
