About Time[1] is a general knowledge historical board game first seen on Series 5 of the BBC new-business reality show Dragon's Den[2] on December 17, 2007.
Players progress by giving answers that are closest to the correct year on the question cards.
Each card contains questions in six subject categories including arts, politics, everyday life and innovation.
Player pieces are iconic historical figures including Napoleon, Queen Elizabeth I, Genghis Khan and William Shakespeare.
[citation needed] In Germany, a German language edition of the game, About Time Das Zeit Spiel,[3] was launched in 2009 in association with Die Zeit,[4] the Hamburg-based weekly newspaper.
