Take Time: The Cooperative Game of Clocks and Deduction

Time is your playground, deduction your only weapon.

In Take Time, you and your team face a mysterious challenge: solving the riddles of 40 clocks spread across 10 evolving chapters. Here, there's no stressful hourglass, but a precision mechanism where every card placed around the clock must follow increasingly convoluted rules.

The concept? You must place 12 numbered cards face down around a clock. The basic objective? Create an ascending sequence. The catch? You can discuss strategy before seeing your cards, but as soon as you reveal your hand, silence is imposed. Only your sense of observation and your connection with other players will allow you to triumph.

Why Take Time is the future "Banger" of your game library:

• A Narrative Progression: The game takes you on a journey through 10 envelopes, each containing 4 challenges. The further you advance, the more constraints the clocks add: parities, forbidden zones, specific sums... A real power-up!

• The Heir of "The Mind" and "Hanabi": If you enjoyed the adrenaline of silence and synchronization, Take Time takes the concept further with a much deeper strategic and calculative aspect.

• The Right to Error (and Regret): The game includes a "Regret Pouch" for failures and a "Rebirth Pouch." A clever system that allows you to try again while maintaining a rewarding progression curve.

• A Sublime Aesthetic: True to Libellud's style (Dixit, Mysterium), the game is magnificently illustrated by Maud Chalmel, creating a dreamlike and captivating atmosphere.
