Learning in the game

Based on the curriculum: Every heroine and hero belongs to a learning area of the Saxon history curriculum (Years 5–7). The campaign follows the eras – from “Princes and Pharaohs” (around 2650 BC) to “New Worlds” (up to 1708), each chapter with a short scene.
With sources: Sourced lines “From the Chronicle” for cards and heroic deeds, plus six card puzzles based on historical situations such as the Canal of Avaris or Leuctra.
Playable for everyone: three lessons with the Chronicler, three difficulty levels, three text sizes, colours for colour vision deficiency (blue instead of green, orange instead of red), calm motion and lightweight graphics.

New in 1.39.0: Legendaries now make a grand entrance: the card flies to the centre, golden rays rise, a ribbon with name and era unrolls, a seal is stamped on it – then it lands with sparks. The mode is no longer shown at the top of the board but in the pause window.
