About this game

A family game where you try to complete tasks before the total time allowed for all players runs out. You get 4-7 cards with different locations and points for your task depending on the number of players. Each card has a task for each color of player. Movement is based on a number gear connected to the main clock gear and corresponds to your pawn color. Each space you move takes 1 hour on the clock, and the clock only makes 12 revolutions before the game ends so think about what task is best to complete first. To shake things up there are relate cards that you can use on your turn that have special bonuses, but you have to satisfy the criteria of the card first! (eg. "Do you know the birth year of the player to your left?" If you answer correctly you add 3 spaces to your current move.) This is great for a fun family event.
