Books of Time

Shape Civilization — One Page at a Time

For millennia, humankind’s journey has been chronicled in the pages of history. Now, it’s your turn to guide that narrative. In Books of Time, players take on the role of visionary historians, crafting the story of civilization through the construction of powerful books. With every decision, you weave together trade, science, and industry into a legacy that reflects ingenuity, growth, and strategic brilliance.
Will your civilization stand the test of time?

Books of Time reinvents tableau-building by letting players literally build and write in three unique books, each representing a domain of progress. As you insert pages into these evolving tomes, you’ll unlock abilities, chain actions, and pursue your personal objectives. Each game is a puzzle of resource management and optimization, with endless combinations and paths to victory. The dynamic “page-turning” mechanic not only adds strategic depth, but also creates a visually immersive experience like no other board game.
