Featured Game - Take Time

Last week's event didn't fire off due to a medical emergency, so we're making it up this week.

Featured games are our way of teaching new games and highlighting something we think our players may enjoy or take note of. We'll explain from scratch how to play the game with a detailed description and demonstrate a few turns, then break into tables to actually play it. Each week it'll be something new, but will run the spectrum of different lengths, complexities, themes, and game mechanics. So if this week's game doesn't interest you, feel free to look again next time around!

Take Time is a cooperative game themed around building a clock. The game is played in chapters, and each chapter presents a different clock for the players to build, each with its own restrictions. Players have to play cards onto this clock so that the numbers end up in increasing order. However, only a limited number of these cards can be played face up and players aren't permitted to communicate what cards they're holding, so they'll have to use what limited communication they are allowed to complete each board.

Take Time is a game for up to 4 players and should take about 5 to 10 minutes per chapter to play (there are 40 chapters total, but we're unlikely to do them all in one night). It has a weight of 1.75 on BoardGameGeek, making it low complexity compared to games typically played here.

If this is your first time with this group, you should see a link to our Discord group once you've signed up for this event. You may join any time before the event begins to get to know people, but once this event starts, we'll typically join the Lobby voice chat, then move to another voice chat once we've gotten started. Note that I, as the game teacher, will share my screen to show how the game works, but all other interaction will be voice only, no video, so no need to look presentable first. The game itself will be played using Board Game Arena - please create an account on this site beforehand.
