GAME DESIGNERS NOTES
If you notice any glaring historical inaccuracies or omissions please let me know.
CLASSROOM AID
This game could be incorporated into a semester long lesson plan.
On the first day give the students a pre-test: A blank timeline going back 5000 years.
Students try to fill in the timeline with as many historical facts as they can remember.
Each week of the semester can correspond to one of the Eras.
Allow students to play the game in addition to presentations and exams.
At the end of the semester give the post-test.
