A clue order that works

  • Era: ancient, medieval, early modern or modern
  • Region: which continent or empire
  • Role: ruler, thinker, scientist or artist
  • Then the finer clues

Learning while you lose

Even a bad Classic game teaches you where a few figures sit in time and place. Over weeks, the color clues build a rough mental map of world history that sticks better than a list of dates.
