This game is very close to a movie franchise (1984 till 2009), and a tv series (2007 till 2009) - in which machines try to kill a future leader by sending back in time certain characters.

The game pits players against each other in two teams: The Mechanical Assassins and the Resistance Fighters.

Depending on your allegiance your personal goals are set. Reach them, and support your team mates and you will win.

All players travel as a group to different locations in time. The current (active) player asks the group to perform a certain action, which is then voted upon. Success: and s/he may either hack, attack, or (possibly) kill someone, or succeed at this time's mission to gain an artifact/item. Fail: and it is the next players turn.

Items grant special abilites (skip certain votes), but may have a limited usage. They also may change the might of a character in the vote.

The game ends, when John C. (son of Sarah C.) dies, or all possible time locations having been explored.

Depending on the individual goals, a total is made for both teams, who ever has the higher wins.
