Asmodee Announces TIMELINE TWIST and SETUP Board Games Releasing This Spring
Asmodee recently announced two new games releasing this spring. First, Asmodee and Zygomatic announced a reimagination of the Timeline games called Timeline Twist. The game will feature cooperative strategic gameplay as they work together to put historical event cards in order. The game will feature 100 unique cards, but only 36 are used per game providing a wide variety of combinations for more replayability. The game will launch this spring with an MSRP of $16.99.
Timeline Twist features 100 unique cards, each with a different historical event, that players work collaboratively to place on a timeline and earn points. Each team’s goal is to correctly place as many of their cards on the timeline before their opponents. Players need more than just historical knowledge to succeed in Timeline Twist, with rules designed to reward strategic thinking and teamwork.
Talking about Timeline Twist, Lead Designer Frédéric Henry shared:
Timeline Twist is an accessible experience designed to bring families to the table while also offering a challenge to seasoned card game experts. Our re-imagined Timeline ruleset rewards teamwork, creating an approachable environment where everyone feels welcome. Timeline Twist is perfect for players looking to introduce a new title to family board game night.
Meanwhile, Asmodee and Bezzerwizzer Studio shared that the tile-based game SETUP will launch on April 1. The game is a new take on the rummy genre designed for all ages. You’ll build sets based on suit or numbers in a simple, yet strategic game. You can pre-order SETUP now from Asmodee and select retailers for an MSRP of $29.99.
SETUP is simple: Players combine suits and numbers on card-like tiles to earn points. Placement is key, as players can create combinations in any direction or even stack tiles to throw off an opponent. A single tile placement can earn points on multiple sets as it extends in various directions, but players should be careful not to help opponents create their own sets! Playable with 2-4 players in a free-for-all battle, or in a 2v2 team mode, SETUP offers an exciting set-building showdown for the whole family.
Birgitte Bülow, CEO of Bezzerwizzer Studio, said:
One of our missions as a team is to bring people together with new takes on traditional games - and to do so across all ages. Putting new spins on classics like rummy is a great way to bring families together. We know rummy fans will love the new twists and mechanics, like introducing tiles with an extra suit and a clear board-based scoring system. These changes make SETUP just as fun and easy to get started for new players as it is for established card game fans!
