T.I.M.E Stories: The Marcy Case is an expansion for T.I.M.E Stories released in 2015 for 2–4 players, 60–90 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Nicolas Normandon and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Storytelling.
The Marcy Case is the next scenario for T.I.M.E Stories. It is the first official expansion for T.I.M.E Stories. Journey back to 1992 to join forces with fellow T.I.M.E. agents in search of a missing girl in the seemingly peaceful town of Rhineland, Wisconsin. A mysterious plague is sweeping through Rhineland. The secret of the cure may lie with a missing girl. Find her and save the future. The overarching structure and premise of this standalone game remains the same: the players work for a time travel agency and go back in time on missions. Each player is sent back into the past and they must work together to figure out what’s happening and complete the mission. Each scenario contains a new world, new characters, new rules, and new surprises. Each ‘run’ into the past has a time limit (and costs the Agency a fortune). If you fail to complete your objectives, you will return to the start of the timeline for another attempt.
T.I.M.E Stories: The Marcy Case supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for T.I.M.E Stories: The Marcy Case is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists T.I.M.E Stories: The Marcy Case for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
