History Hates You

About

You might love History but it sure doesn't love you back, and you need to sort it out. Do you remember when Booth saved Lincoln, when Newton tracked a dildo manufacturer, or how many nuclear bombs the USA dropped on their allies?

Explore 200 strange moments from history while trying to put them in the right order. But be careful: History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. Surpass your friends or work together on subjects ranging from warfare and food to cinema and experimental medicine, while avoiding art forgeries and homonymous assassins.

Buy the game

You can buy the pdf here (pay what you want), although please don't share it on the internet.

With the help of a game association (le Cercle de l'Orbite Galactique), we made a print run so you can also buy a high-quality copy for 15€ (on which our margin is about 4€).

If it generates enough interest, we will try to make a website to play it online, in both French and English, as well as another extension (for which we already have 100+ cards planned).
