Kronologic contains three mysteries, each with five different solutions at increasingly complex levels of difficulty. Kronologic Babylon 2500 takes place in a futuristic universe. Who? Where? When? Your goal is to solve each mystery before the others uncover the truth. All players will conduct the investigation, but the first to discover the solution will be the winner! Babylon adds a temporal dimension, meaning that players must also reveal when the crime took place. Because it's the future and in the future we can time travel! Each turn a player will give a public piece of information and receive a private one depending on the location investigated, character questions and/or the time. Players will then secretly make notes on their notepad. The first player to connect all the clues wins the game! Babylon brings a host of new features! This time, the logic of deduction will change. Instead of locations, characters will be the key players. Locations will become multiple clues. Each location will have several symbols, but only one will be visible to a character present there. However, several locations have the same symbol, but not the same sequence of symbols, which is sure to make your brain spin!
