Description

Crónicas del Estallido is a cooperative game about the social protests in Chile in late 2019. Gameplay resembles Anno Domini/Timeline, but the game is played cooperatively:
Each player has a number of event cards in front of them. The cards show an event on the red side, and the same event plus the day it happened on the yellow side. Players keep the red side of their cards up, so they cannot see the date. One random event is placed in the middle of the table. Players now take turns placing one of their cards either on the left or the right of the initial card (and subsequent ones) to form a correct timeline of events. When each player has only two cards left, the placed cards are flipped to the yellow side. For each card that is at the correct place of the timeline, the players score a point. The more points, the better the result.
Group discussion is encouraged, with the card holder having the final word about where to place a given card.
The game is aimed at keeping memories about the series of events alive.
No individual designer is named, as the game was a colloborative effort by many people, but there is a long list of credits. Each card was also illustrated by a different artist.
