Description Description

Making History is a board game about truth, perspective and the stories we choose to believe. When the break-up between Briar and Skye disrupts the school, everyone has a theory: which version is true? By collecting and exchanging 'facts', players discover how perspective, rumors and biases influence the way we interpret the past.

Each round builds competing narratives, showing that history is rarely orderly and never complete. In small groups, players form hypotheses with Evidence Cards, which contain information of varying relevance and reliability. By exchanging, combining and re-evaluating evidence, players confront how personal bias and incomplete information shape stories about the past — and how easy it is to mistake a narrative for the truth.

Contents: 36 colored Evidence Cards, 32 structured Prompt Cards and 11 Instructor Cards.
