The sustained contact between Europeans and Native Americans following the exploits of Christopher Columbus and his crew marks one of the most significant linchpin moments in human history.

In this project, you will be using the knowledge that you have gathered from your Driving Question Packet to design a time travel card game. Your team will likely need to do additional research to meet the requirements. Additional reliable resources will be provided to aid this research. Only these resources will be available. Your game must somehow incorporate answers to the following historical content questions: …show more content…
What was the global impact of foods, diseases, precious metals, and/or ideas exchanged from American indigenous populations to Europe?
What was the global impact of foods, diseases, precious metals, and/or ideas exchanged from European populations to the Americas?
What specific people, places, events, or ideas were significant in the relationship between the Old World and the New World?
Your team’s game will be modeled after the card game “Chrononauts”. Published in 2000, Chrononauts won the Origins Award for Best Traditional Card Game in that year.
Check out the Chrononauts page on the Looney Labs website to learn more about the game.
Your game must include a minimum of the following elements:
16 Timeline Cards (10 must occur in the 16th
