The process of history

The process of history (a diagram as well as an easy-to-play, ready-to-use, pull-out, pop-up, take-out-and-keep, game).

{A winding sequence of labelled squares, not unlike a snakes-and-ladders board}

    BIG BANG (not in Belgium) {explosion}

    DINOSAURS {dinosaur head; pterodactyl in the sky}

    EGYPTIANS (Egypt only) {pyramids}

    {pseudo-Greek lettering} GREEKS incorporating Trojan war

    ROMANI {military flag, labelled "standard" at the bottom, and "eagle (nearly)" at the top}

    Bloody barbarians hijack civilized world

    ROLE AGAIN

        {in a corner of the board} Dead end — time warp and deconstructionist hijack history

    Dark ages (still going on in USA) {darkness}

    MIDDLE AGES (hence in middle) {stick king with crown and sceptre}

    INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION {chimneys}

    ROLE AGAIN

    AGE OF COLONISATION (no illustration)

    Go back to big bang — you meet deconstructionist

    WW1

    WW2

    WW3 (optional)

    BIG BRUNCH (with side salad) (not in Belgium) {implosion}

Thus, you can play and enjoy the game, while simultaneously acknowledging the process of history. More episodes to follow. Beware, do not be fooled by circular imitations. Or Liz.
