Time Barons (Second Edition)
30m
2 - 4 Players
Ages 10+
Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
Hand Management
This mechanism requires players to select individual actions from a set of actions available to all players. Players generally select actions one-at-a-time and in turn order. There is usually(*) a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Actions are commonly selected by the placement of game pieces or tokens on the selected actions. Each player usually has a limited number of pieces with which to participate in the process.

Really solid small & strategic game. Clever combos, risk management, strategic vs tactical decision making - it's all there, spiced up with cool theme!

Time Barons is a combat game, and like a lot of these types of games, the ability to decimate your opponents with card combinations is what it's all about. The time component offers players an option to jump into the future to basically claim technology and skills that inflict more damage. Some big losses can be dealt during turns. Time Barons is a good option for those who like these sorts of games, but it's too confrontational for my liking.

I loved the [url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgameversion/231604/english-first-edition]first edition[/url] of this game, and this [url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgameversion/360090/english-second-edition]second edition[/url] is undeniably a bigger, better package. The downsides are that the game is less portable, the new follower tokens lack the charm of the glass ones and the box art is much better in the first edition. Nit-picking aside, you get twice the amount of cards, and can choose which deck to play with (or mix them both), and you get two additional game modes which don't require that you purchase another copy. However, this edition was not for me. Gameplay wise, the 2nd ed. is strictly better than its predecessor, since you get the entire 1st ed. [i]PLUS MORE[/i]. I'm not sure, however, if this game really [i]needed[/i] more to begin with. We prefer leaving the 2nd Ed. cards in the box. I haven't tried the team mode or the free for all mode, so I can't comment on either of those. Gifted to my sister and her boyfriend for Christmas. I kept the 1st Ed. from The Game Crafter (v1.2), and will likely purchase the [url=https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/time-barons-core-set]updated deck of cards[/url] from there as well.
