For those that have asked, it IS a completely FREE game. You do not have to give any details or sign up for anything. There are no gimmicks, cons or misleading Terms and Conditions. Unlike almost every supposedly free offer, this game is genuinely FREE. The download is FREE.

I am the inventor of the game and I am making it available to any and all who want it. Just follow the link in the first post.

Once you have downloaded the game you can freely copy the file and give away as many copies as you want to.

Everything required for the game is included in the PDF document. PDF documents can be read using Adobe's free PDF software or other 3rd party software is widely available.

The beauty of having the game as a PDF is that when - like with most games - you lose a card or playing piece, you can easily print another one as a replacement.

Not a board gamer, but certainly looks interesting :)

Hope you get a response soon.

Although the series of books that the game is based on are aimed at the young adult market, they are still a great read no matter how many years young you are. The various story lines offer a variety of alternate time lines and their consequences. Book 5 also offers a brief story line cross over with the author's brother's books which are based in Roman times. Alex Scarrow is the brother of Simon Scarrow.

Still available and still FREE!

Have you thought that this might be a great teaching aid?
You could send it to http://www.skillsworkshop.org/, who are always looking for new and different ways to engage learners.
They don't pay anything, but it might well be picked up and used by teachers and lecturers.

It would make it more widely available, and used, and better-known.

That's a nice thought, but not possible.
Unfortunately there are issues of copyright that prevent me doing anything other than giving it away for free, non-commercial, individual use. You see, although I worked with the book's author in producing the game, it is his publishers (Penguin) that now own the rights to the TimeRiders brand (or something like that.) They were going to publish it themselves at one point, but long story short, they messed me about for best part of a year and still hadn't done anything with it, so I told them I'd go it alone and put it out the way it is now.

Bump.

This game will not be available for very much longer.

The last book in the series in the game is based on comes out later this year and I shall not offer the game for long after that time. So if you are interested you'll need to grab a copy sooner rather than later.

The last book in the series TimeRiders: The Infinity Cage (book 9) by Alex Scarrow comes out in paperback and eBook 6th Nov 2014.

My game will be taken offline a little while after that date, so if you want a copy feel free to grab one soon. :)

Just to confirm that the game has been removed from my site.
