This is a board game design by Joelle Barbeau of Riverside School Board. First inspired by games like FAUNA, Joelle copied and adapted the same cards used from the original English version of Chronos (available here), and then she expanded their use to include intellectual operations like “characterize a society” and “locate in time and space”!

Goals of the game:
This is a game to test your knowledge on a given society (for example, New-France in 1745).  It is essentially a board game that uses playing cards. Every turn will reveal a new card. Players will estimate some elements related to that card, such as the time period, the location and an aspect related to that card. Points can be made for each element.  This card game strategy could be used to review and remind students of the facts related to various societies (selected according to the time period studied).  It assumes previous knowledge of the facts in each card.

Intellectual Operations covered: 
Characterize a society:  Characterized in terms of the aspects (political, economic, cultural, demographic).
Situate in time and space:  Situate the information of the card on the map, and on the timeline.
