Books of Time

Players build three individual “books” of pages—trade, science, and industry—by drafting and placing cards into personal tableaux. Each page grants actions or abilities, and grouping pages in a book unlocks special effects that players can activate to generate resources and chain combos. Turns involve selecting pages, managing resources, and triggering book abilities to pursue personal objectives and score points. The game emphasizes tableau construction, set collection across three themed tracks, and planning efficient action sequences to maximize combinations.
