Gameplay

How You Travel

As you journey through time, discover and make use of 7 different devices—modes of time travel that make use of familiar game tools: dice, cards, and coins. These devices will help you shift back and forth (and often back again) through the dates of your planner.

As you discover more devices you will make use of:

• Additional d6
• Playing Cards
• Tarot Cards
• An Additional Coin

Tracking Your Journey

Your planner is your log of everything you experience on your journey through time. For tracking your progress through the game, you'll have a bookmark character sheet for your inventory, encounters, and identity.
