Guide to the Timepaths 2:
Exploring worlds

Timepaths is a level based game, where each level requires you to build a certain amount of path pieces in a certain amount of time. These are built by spending the resources required to build them.

Resources

There are 7 resources in the game, and 3 of them show up in each level. Each resource has it's own cards to gain them, and their own resources to trade with.
Cards you play cost seconds, and you have to spend your time wisely to reach the end. Some cards also cost resources, and force you decide if it's worth saving resources for cards or pieces.

Anatomy of a card

Card Types

There are 5 card types, although we are only going to focus on 3 of them today.

Resource Cards

These cards are each tied to one of the 7 main resources. They give you the amount of resources mentioned below and are returned to the bottom of your deck after being played. For each resource in the level, 4 of the resource cards tied to the resource will be in the level.

Action Cards

These cards do something and are then discarded.

World Cards

These cards stay out after being played, and have an ongoing effect. Some do something every couple of seconds, while others wait for something to happen.

The Key to Victory

The strategy comes from managing your resources. During the start of the game, you are trying to get the resources you need somewhat inefficiently. Eventually, you want to convert resources from one to another so you get more bang for your buck.
