About the game
Timeline Twist: Star Wars is a new version of the game Timeline, with gameplay now being co-operative instead of competitive. In this game, players team up, communicate, and co-ordinate to find the best strategy to play 36 cards out of one hundred total. The team's goal is to get rid of all the cards players have in hand, either by placing as many events as possible in the right order on the timelines or by discarding them wisely.
