That Time You Killed Me - a time-travelling abstract game with many, many modes of play!

An abstract game where you play simultaneously on 3 boards representing three time zones - with decisions in the past directly impacting on the game-state in the present & future. A time-travelling twist on traditional strategy games. That’s the hook.
That Time You Killed Me is a 2 player game from Peter Hayward & Pandasaurus Games. It’s an abstract strategy game, which means it belongs in the same family as Chess, Checkers & Go. What? You didn’t get that from the cover??? We’ll talk about that.

That was terrific Professor Porter, thank you! I love games that make me feel clever whether they are abstract or thematic. This one looks like it's loaded with opportunities to feel clever😁!

I fully agree that it is "what the abstract strategy" genre needs. We can forget how non-gamers see board games: "like Monopoly" or "like Chess". If a game is "like Chess", but colourful, flashy and murdery, with secrets and campaigns, then it might lead to more players engaging with a potentially dry genre. If a game makes people widen their eyes and go "whoa" at a game with a checkerboard and pawns, then they might become more open to what games can.. do

Sold me. I'll be picking this one up for my grandkids, no question. Excellent video, thank you!

[@MMmk1]

Does the game fulfill a need? NO?! Who the hell wouldn't like to control time, get back to past and look into the future?! Kmon! This game is flipping intriguing. We'll see if it will be released in my country - I hope so.

I think there is a need for a really good time travel game, but I’m not sure this game really fits the bill. It isn’t really thematic at all - it’s a very abstract affair. I think there’s still a gap in the market for an excellent thematic time travel experience.

Great review. It’s made me want to play it, and then I’ll figure out if I want to own it (which will depend on if I know enough people that would want to play it with me).

[@AdaminWales]

Yes, I think it’s worth trying - it’s probably not for everyone.

The theme of this game is just so great
