About the game

ユークロニクル (Uchronicle) is a trick-taking game from Japan, where players adjust the rules as the go along, but not to break the space-time continuum. The publisher says: Uchronicle is one of the trick-taking games in which players repeatedly compare the strength of cards, called tricks. In this game, there are no pre-defined rules for 'strength order of numbers' or specially powerful 'trump cards' that are involved in winning or losing tricks. Players are obligated to win tricks at all times while changing these rules to be consistent with past win-loss results. Failure to change the rules without inconsistency will result in altering the past - taking unfavourable cards as negative VPs. Try to limit the number of negative VPs you get and win the game! 『Uchronicle』は、トリックと呼ばれるカードの強さ比べを繰り返すトリックテイキングゲームの一つです。このゲームでは、トリックの勝敗に関わる「数字の強さ順」や特別に強力な「切り札」のルールが予め決められていません。プレイヤーたちは、過去の勝敗結果と矛盾しないようにこれらのルールを変更しながら、常にトリックで勝利する義務を負います。矛盾なくルールを変更できなければ、過去を改変する――不都合なカードをマイナス点として引き取る――ことになります。獲得するマイナス点を抑え、ゲームの勝利を目指しましょう! publisher's summary
