Khronos (game)
''Khronos'' is a board game for two to five players designed by Ludovic Vialla and Arnaud Urbon. In the game, players build domains by laying tiles representing buildings on three game boards, each representing the same area in three different ages. By paying one coin, players can time travel between the different ages. The game lasts seven turns. Players receive money based on the strength of their buildings in the various ages at the end of their fourth and seventh turns. There are three kinds of buildings, each represented by a different colour: military (orange), religious (purple), and civil (blue). Each colour is most powerful in one of the three ages. Each building costs a certain amount of correctly coloured cards (drawn on each turn) to build. The building cost is also the number of coins a building generates when scoring takes place. The time travel aspect of the game comes into play in that larger buildings built in earlier ages "ripple" forward to the game boards in ...

Chronos
Chronos (; grc-gre, Χρόνος, , "time"), also spelled Khronos or Chronus, is a personification of time in pre-Socratic philosophy and later literature. Chronos is frequently confused with, or perhaps consciously identified with, the Titan Cronus in antiquity due to the similarity in names. The identification became more widespread during the Renaissance, giving rise to the iconography of Father Time wielding the harvesting scythe. Greco-Roman mosaics depicted Chronos as a man turning the zodiac wheel. He is comparable to the deity Aion as a symbol of cyclical time. He is usually portrayed as an old callous man with a thick grey beard, personifying the destructive and stifling aspects of time. Name During antiquity, Chronos was occasionally interpreted as Cronus. According to Plutarch, the Greeks believed that Cronus was an allegorical name for Chronos. Mythology In the Orphic tradition, the unaging Chronos was "engendered" by "earth and water", and produced Aether, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
