Description
Cards form the timeline as you play them, and you move your pawn back and forth through history to find cheap commodities and the markets in which to sell them for a huge profit.
The cards have four pathways from the left to right sides, which cross over each other. They also have a waypoint representing one of the commodities that can be picked up cheaply at that point in time.
The object is to score 21 points by picking up commodities and selling them at points in the timeline where they are worth obscene amounts of money. However, picking up a commodity changes the timeline in subtle ways: in the game, it means moving a card up or down by a slight amount, which disconnects its current pathways and connects them to new pathways.
