I recently had the chance to play a new card game called Chrononauts. Thank You Roo.

This is a recent creation by Looney Labs, creators of "Are you the Traitor?" and "Fluxx" that plays with the themes of the time-traveller genre and the alternate history genre.

The game begins with an established timeline. Each player has a unique home timeline, and they are trying to manipulate the cards to make the timeline match their home timeline to win. There are a couple other alternate paths to victory as well. 

Play goes very quickly,and you can easily finish a game in under an hour with 4-5 people playing.

We also found that the game was even more fun if you make up a story to go along with your gameplay.

For example, in one of our games, one player prevented the assassination of Abe Lincoln, by taking out John Wilkes Booth,  another player later "undid" the rescue by sneaking into the theater and killing the president, and later the original player re-rescued the president by travelling back in time to knock out the other player before he could shoot the president.
