Save the Date - Civil War Version

Who says dates aren't important? The goal of the game is to approximate (or pinpoint) the dates for as many historical events as possible. Historical events will appear randomly and players use the slider to set the date. Players have 100 years to work with. If an event occurs in 1650 and the date is set to 1640, ten years are lost. The game ends when a player has no years left.
