11/22/63 by Steven King 

Be one of the only to travel back into time and change history forever… that is if you succeed! By playing the 11/22/63 board game. This game taking strategy on which paths to take while maneuvering throughout the board, will you make the right choices? Becoming the main character Jake Epping a school teacher, himself or his new identity of the past “George Amberson”, but using your mind to get to the end. Starting out in pantry of the diner where Jake first realizes this time traveling stuff isn’t at all a dream but for sure reality.


When his dying friend Al, has his last request for Jake, the request that would change history altogether, it wasn’t the request Jake was hoping for. To go back in time, on the day of November 22, 1963, and stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy. “We never know which lives we influence, or when or why. Not until the future eats the present anyway. We know when it’s too late.” Taking on the challenge given to him, he stops to change a few things on the way. Starting with his friend Harry, whose family was murdered by his father, Jake manages to save most of the family, only to learn it changes the future. Resulting in both Harry and Al having gone through tragic events, Al killing himself by overdosing on his painkillers. And the janitor Harry, actually being killed at Vietnam War. Or Sadie Dunhill the love of Jake’s life, who is brutally beaten by an ex-husband.  All due to the changing of events that Jake keeps making. Throughout the game, playing cards will be presented with scenarios from the book and when it’s your turn you are able to pick from two of the scenarios altering you throughout different paths of the game, resulting in different endings for each player by their choices in the card stack the player chooses.
