British History is the latest edition to the Timeline series of games. You can buy British History now online or from your local toy store for RRP £13.99 suited ages 8+ for 2-8 players.
The British History edition of Timeline is a great addition to the series and can be played on its own or mixed into the other timeline games. The lovely handy storage tin contains 110 historical cards, and instructions. British History Timeline is so easy to learn that we now just have a quick game when we don’t have time for a whole board game set up. We decided that Bingo Granny might be good at British History so tested it out on her most recent visit.
You don’t need lots of room to set up the game so British Timeline is the perfect family on the move game. Players start with 4 random cards, and one card is turned face up with the date. Players then take turns placing their cards where they think they belong in the timeline. The winner is the one who can place all of their cards.
We love this game as it causes so many questions. It is a great multi generation game as we found age doesn’t always help. It can be played tactically by placing the cards you have no idea where they go early. Saving the ones you know the dates can make you the winner. Dad Dragon has found the game he can beat us at as he has a good memory for dates. The boy does well too as once played he too remembers the dated cards.
We love the addition of the Brexit card, a great one to start with! The boy also loves to just sit and build his own timelines like a game of solitaire. He is learning about British history and keeping himself amused at the same time. British History Timeline is a great game as a Christmas stocking filler, and is great as a whole family game.
British Timeline is available now from Amazon (affiliate link below) and all good retailers.

I’m not too bad on the history facts like reasons things happened but really not so hot on the dates.
I’m good at history, but not so good at remembering the exact dates of things.
Only with the key dates – my excuse is that I like to focus on the future and present rather than the past 😉

Good with dates but terrible for names
No I’m not, I’m afraid I used to fall asleep during history classes at school. Thanks for the lovely giveaway, my children would love this game.
I love history and have taught American history. I know some of the most important dates, along with the general order of events. But I’m not that great at all the dates. I think it’s partly because I had a brilliant history teacher who taught us that getting bogged down with dates and specific details that can be easily found is less important that understanding and analyzing the overarching concepts.
No im not good at dates in History at all
Dates are something I just remember – people are always amazed about my ability to remember them. History was my favourite subject at school.
im quite good
I have to admit, history and dates are not my forte at all!
History is an interest of mine but I am not very good with remembering dates.

I’m good as I’m a teacher
yes, not bad
I loved medieval history looking at war of the roses, tudors etc but have no interest in industrial revolution which I had to study at school and therefore I did not study history after high school.
As a history teacher, I should hope so!
Yes history was one of my favourite subjects at school and still is.
