Description

Get ready for a blast from the past with Anno Domini: Erfindungen, a party game that's all about testing your knowledge of historical events and your ability to bluff your way to victory. Designed by Urs Hostettler and first published in 1999, this game is simple to learn but challenging to master, making it perfect for a wide range of players - from 2 to 8 can join in on the fun. Each player starts with a hand of nine cards, each featuring a description of a historical event on one side and the year it occurred on the other, but here's the twist - you can only see the descriptions, not the years. As players take turns adding cards to the table, trying to put them in chronological order, things can get really interesting. You can choose to play it safe and add a card, or you can try to throw your opponents off by claiming that the order is incorrect. If you're right, you'll be rewarded, but if you're wrong, you'll be penalized. With most events being fairly obscure, it's not just about knowing your history - it's also about being able to bluff your way to the top. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins, and with a playtime of just 30 minutes, you can fit in a game or two with your friends and family. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a fun and social game, Anno Domini: Erfindungen is a great choice.
