●40 deck cards
　・30 Era cards: 3 each of numbers 1–10
　・10 Time Leap cards 

●1 Free Action card 

●20 Scenario cards 

● 10 Era Reference cards, numbered 1–10 (These cards have square corners.)

●10 player pieces: 2 per player

Setup

1. Arrange the Era Reference cards numbered 1–10 in numerical order. This row is called the Era Reference Row. The row below it is called the Era Card Area.

2. Each player chooses a color and places one of their pieces in Era 1 of the Era Card Area. Place the other piece of the same color in front of you as a reminder of your color.

3. Shuffle all 40 deck cards—30 Era cards and 10 Time Leap cards—and deal three cards to each player. Only you may look at your hand. Place the remaining cards face down to form the deck.

4. Choose the Scenario cards you will use, then add Blank cards to make a total of nine cards. Shuffle these nine cards and place one face up above each Era Reference card from 1 to 9. Do not place a Scenario card above Era 10. Which Scenario cards to use is explained later.

5. Place the shared Free Action card where all players can see it, and leave space to lay out discarded cards.

6. The player who most recently watched a movie about time travel is the starting player. Turns normally proceed clockwise.

On your turn, perform one of the following actions:

A: Place a card in your current era.

B: Use a Time Leap card.

Players take turns clockwise.

Action A: Place a Card in Your Current Era 

①Place a card.
Choose one card from your hand and place it in the era where your piece is located.

- If it is an Era card whose number matches your current era, you must place it face up.

- If it is an Era card with a different number or a Time Leap card, you must place it face down.

If a card is already there:
Exchange the card you chose from your hand with the card already in that era. Add the card you receive to your hand. Only you may look at it.

②Move the player pieces.
After placing the card, move all player pieces in that era to the next era.
This movement is mandatory.

③Replenish your hand if needed.
If you placed a card in an empty space in the Era Card Area, only you, the active player, draw one card from the deck to bring your hand back to three cards. If you already have three or more cards in hand, do not draw.

If you exchanged your card with a card already in that era, do not draw.

Pass the turn to the player on your left.

Action B: Use a Time Leap Card

① Play the first card and announce your direction.

Play one Time Leap card from your hand face up in front of you and announce whether you are traveling to the past or the future.

Instead of a Time Leap card, you may use an Era card whose number matches your current era as a Time Leap card. This is an important rule to remember.

Place the Time Leap card—or the matching Era card—you played below the Era Card Area. This area is called the Wormhole.

- To travel to the future, place it directly below the space for the era one step ahead of your current era.

- To travel to the past, place it directly below the space for the era one step behind your current era.

Example: You are in Era 7 and play a Time Leap card, announcing that you will travel to the past. Place the card face up in the Wormhole directly below Era 6.

②Decide who will join the time leap. 

Other players in the same era as the active player choose either “Join” or “Stay,” starting with the player to the active player’s left and proceeding clockwise.

Players in other eras cannot join.

Players who choose to join become companions for this time leap.

③Add a card or pass. 

Only the active player and their companions participate in this step. Starting with the player to the active player’s left and proceeding clockwise, each chooses one of the following:

Add a card

Play any one card from your hand face up. You may play an Era card of any number or a Time Leap card.
Place it face up next to the last card in the Wormhole, extending the line toward the past or the future, according to the declared direction.

Example: A companion plays an Era 1 card. The time leap was declared from Era 5 toward the future. A Time Leap card is already below Era 6, so the companion places their card next to it, below Era 7.

Pass

You cannot add any more cards during this time leap, but you still accompany the active player.
Continue clockwise, skipping players who have already passed, until everyone has passed.

④ Move one era for each card played. 

The total number of cards played—including the first card—determines the distance traveled. The numbers printed on the cards do not affect the distance.

Move the active player’s piece and all companions’ pieces that many eras in the declared direction. Their destination is the space in the Era Card Area directly above the last card placed in the Wormhole.

Players who chose to stay do not move.

If no additional cards were played, move just one era.
Discard all cards used for the time leap. Lay out the discarded cards so that every card’s face remains visible.

⑤ Replenish your hands. 

fter moving, the active player and their companions draw cards, starting with the active player and proceeding clockwise. Each player with fewer than three cards in hand draws one card from the deck.

Continue clockwise, skipping players who already have three or more cards, until all participating players have at least three cards or the deck runs out.

Pass the turn to the player on your left.

Free Action: Exchange Cards 

You must place the correct Era cards and complete the Scenario cards.

For Eras 1–9, placing an Era card whose number matches that era face up for the first time is called “clearing” that era. Exchanging a face-down card with the matching Era card from your hand also counts as clearing the era.

When you clear an era, turn its Scenario card face down. 

Once cleared, a Scenario card remains face down for the rest of the game. Replacing the Era card later does not change the order in which eras were cleared or allow an item to be used again.

●Item Cards 

The player who first clears an era with an Item card uses that item’s effect. Resolve the effect after completing the normal movement of player pieces and hand replenishment.

Each item’s effect can be used only once per game. Replacing the card in an era that has already been cleared does not allow the item to be used again.

Item 1: Retrieve a Discarded Card

Choose any one discarded card and add it to your hand.
If this brings your hand to four or more cards, you do not need to discard any cards. If there are no discarded cards, nothing happens.

Item 2: Exchange Cards

Following the same procedure as the free action, exchange one card from your hand with one card from another player’s hand. Players in other eras may also accept the exchange.
Place your offered card face down. Starting with the player on your left and proceeding clockwise, ask each other player whether they accept. Exchange one card each, face down and without discussion, with the first player to accept.
If no one accepts, exchange your offered card with the top card of the deck, then place your offered card face down at the bottom of the deck. If no one accepts and the deck is empty, nothing happens.
This effect does not mark the shared Free Action card as used. You may use this item even if the Free Action card is already on its “USED” side.

Item 3: Move to Any Era

Move your piece to any era from 1 to 10.
You do not need to discard any cards to make this move. You cannot move other players’ pieces.

Item 4: Exchange a Card with the Era Card Area

Exchange one card from your hand with one card in any era in the Era Card Area. Your piece does not need to be in that era. However, you cannot choose an era that contains no card.
Place your card face up if its number matches that era, or face down otherwise. Add the card you receive to your hand.
This exchange does not move any player pieces or let you draw cards from the deck. If it clears the era for the first time, also check that era’s Scenario card.

Item 5: Choose the Next Player

Choose one player to take the next turn. You may choose yourself.
Once the current turn has been fully resolved, the chosen player begins their turn. After that, turns proceed clockwise from that player.

●Mission Cards

When clearing an era with a Mission card for the first time, you must meet the condition written on that card. If the condition is violated, all players immediately lose the game.

When you clear the era while meeting the condition, turn its Mission card face down. Once that era has been cleared, you do not need to meet the condition again, even if its Era card is replaced.

Ⅰ >> Ⅱ >> Ⅲ: Clear in the Specified Order

Clear the eras containing these three cards in the order Ⅰ → Ⅱ → Ⅲ.
You may clear other eras between them. However, if you clear Ⅱ before Ⅰ, or Ⅲ before Ⅱ, all players lose the game.

壱 >> 弐 >> 参: Clear in the Specified Order

Clear the eras containing these three cards in the order 壱 → 弐 → 参.
You may clear other eras between them. This set is checked independently of Ⅰ → Ⅱ → Ⅲ. For example, Ⅰ → 壱 → 弐 → Ⅱ → 参 → Ⅲ satisfies both sets of conditions.

4<: Clear Fourth or Later

Clear the era containing this card fourth or later in the game.
You must clear at least three other eras before clearing this era. It does not need to be exactly fourth.

１: Clear First

Clear the era containing this card first in the game.
If you clear another era before this one, all players lose the game. You may still place cards face down in other eras before clearing this era.

A: Clear Both Eras with the Same Player

The same player must clear both eras containing an A card.
Either era may be cleared first. The player who clears the first A era must also clear the second. If a different player clears the second A era, all players lose the game.
As a reminder, the player who clears the first A era should keep that Mission card in front of them.

●Blank Cards 

Blank cards have no special conditions to fulfill.
Both sides have the same design.
