Early American Chrononauts review

Early American Chrononauts is a fun, engaging card game that takes the Chrononauts concept and applies it to a fascinating period of American history. As a prequel, it covers the period from 1770 to 1916, allowing players to alter key events like the American Revolution and the Civil War. The gameplay is similar to the original Chrononauts, with players drawing cards, playing cards, and collecting artifacts. The game also includes some interesting new gadgets, and the opportunity to play UberChrononauts, a combined version of the two games that offers a much longer and more complex experience.

While I enjoyed the game, I was a bit disappointed that it lacked the "weird patches" and Uberparadox that I loved in the original Chrononauts. However, the alternate history scenarios are still interesting, and the opportunity to play UberChrononauts is a big plus. Overall, I'd recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Chrononauts or historical card games.

The quality of the shipping and packaging was a bit disappointing, but I was planning on using a different case anyway. The game itself is great, and I think it deserves respect for its educational value and its engaging gameplay.

I've enjoyed playing this game with both family and friends, and it's been a great way to teach them about the early years of the U.S. The mechanics are simple to learn, but there's a lot of strategy involved. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun and educational card game.
