In Die turbulente Zeitreise, the brilliant scientist Dr. Tempora has created a time machine, and the players are now going to go exploring the world's history. In the first phase of the game, players are presented with board segments from different eras and they must determine in which order those segments should be organized to match history. In the second phase, players answer questions related to different eras of time, and in the third phase they must recall figures and items that they've experienced in the first two phases. Players score points each time they take a correct action, and whoever scores the most points wins.
