Asmodee announces TIMELINE TWIST and SETUP board games due out this spring

Asmodee recently announced two new games to be released this spring. First, Asmodee and Zygomatic have announced a remake of the Timeline games called History twist. The game will feature cooperative strategic gameplay as they work together to sort historical event cards. The game will feature 100 unique cards, but only 36 are used per game, providing a wide variety of combinations for increased replay value. 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 together to place on a timeline and score points. Each team’s goal is to correctly place as many 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.

Speak about History twistLead designer Frederic 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 reinvented Timeline ruleset rewards teamwork, creating an accessible environment where everyone feels welcome. Timeline Twist is perfect for gamers looking to introduce a new title to family board game night.

Meanwhile, Asmodee and Bezzerwizzer Studio shared tile-based gameplay SETTING UP will launch on April 1. The game is a new take on the rummy genre designed for all ages. You will build sets based on suits or numbers in a simple but strategic game. You can pre-order SETTING UP now from Asmodee and select resellers for an MSRP of $29.99.

THE SETUP is simple: players combine suits and numbers on card-like tiles to score points. Placement is key, as players can make melds in any direction or even stack tiles to eliminate an opponent. Placing a single tile can score points across multiple sets as it stretches 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 a 2-on-2 team mode, SETUP offers an exciting showdown for the whole family.

Birgitte BulowCEO 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 it for 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, such as the introduction of tiles with an extra suit and a clear board-based scoring system. These changes make SETUP as fun and easy to get started for new players as it is for card game fans!
