| Chrono Cat's was created by François Petit to make it easier for French students in their last year of Middle School to learn the 52 dates they must know for the history exam they must take at the end of their school year. But many dates are already taught in grammar school so this game can be played with 10 year olds and up if you select the dates they know, and add more as you go along. |

Principle of the game
Each player has a stack of cards face down (with a cat on the back) in front of him.
The 52 dates, with a mouse on the back and the dates on the other side, are placed in the center of the table, the dates being visible.
Each their turn, the players turn a card over and then read the event at the bottom of the card.
The other players must hit on the right date as fast as possible.
The quickest receives the "event" card. And so on, the next player turns a card over...
If no one hits on the right date, the "event" card is put aside.
When all the "event" cards have been given (or put aside), each player counts the number of cards he has won.
The winner is the player with the most cards.
