Werner Heisenberg could have met both Jacques Piccard and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.

How to play

The cards

  • Overlap: did the two exist at the same time? A book or an invention lasts once it appears; an event counts only in its own year.
  • Distance: is the first nearer to the second, or to us? A person counts from their birth.
  • Compound: TRUE only when both halves hold.
  • Every card has its own clock. Run out and it scores nothing, but the answer still shows.

The score

  • A right call scores, and a streak of right calls scores more.
  • A wrong call resets the streak.
  • After every card, the real dates open on a timeline drawn to scale.
