TimeLine

The TimeLine is a timeline across dates showing historic happenings, represented by a large grid of double-sided cards.

In chrononauts, it's an 8 times 4 grid of 32 card from 1865 to 1999. In Early American Chrononauts, it is also an 8 times 4 grid of 32 cards, this time from 1770 to 1916. In The Gore Years, it's 5 cards from 2000 to 2008. In UberChrononauts, it's 75 cards after all. The Timeline is made up of Linchpins, ripple points, paradoxes, patches and the uberparadox..

The linchpins, when flipped by inverters, affect the ripple points, which can be paradoxed, but also patched by patch cards. When 13 paradoxes appear on the TimeLine, it is destroyed, the universe is ripped apart, and everyone loses.
