My personal best in a handful of tries is 16.

This is very interesting. I'm worse at the modern crap than I am of the historical items of note.

Agree and the older ones are easier when you have several-centuries gaps to work with. When you have like 1384 and 1405 it's nearly impossible.

Good stuff. I need to brush up on my British history from 500 AD to 1500 apparently.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Let me know when it asks you when the hair color blonde was created? dafuq?!

Pretty interesting but I've run across a few errors already. For example, it lists the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire as happening in 1 AD but when you flip the card over, it says 16th century.

You can absolutely get screwed with the wrong cards. I had a good streak going but missed three events that happened in 1904, 1905 & 1908

ETA: The date on the Santa Fe Railway is wrong. They have it at 1895 but it was chartered in 1859

I like the idea but the execution is kinda weird

I lost on the Big Bang. Naturally put it first but it gave it a date of 1930 something bc that's when the idea was discovered. Boo to that.

I got Penis Envy as one of mine. Wtf?

It'll trick you as well. Turkish currency started in 1844, before Turkey was a country. It wasn't called Turkish currency in the Ottoman Empire. I'm addicted to this now, but it will piss you off.

Fax machine invented in 1843. Who knew? Fun game.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Well I learned that Russia had an air force before Britain.

 

[patdog]

Wrong. That was the Moops.

It's interesting, but it lacks some accuracy. I've hit 13, but it kinda sucks when you "miss" one because it is not correct on their part.
