Description
Two days ago you invented time travel. You were pretty jazzed. But the next day you learned that about a dozen other scientists had invented it before you. Or after you. It doesn’t really matter. So now you’ve decided to do the only thing you can think of, race the other guys to the Patent Office. Not just in your time, but on the first day it opened, July 30, 1790. History will show that whoever reached the Patent Office first deserves to be the one true inventor of time travel. It all makes sense in a not-really-making-any-sense kind of way.

The game was nominated for the Origins Award for Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Board Game of 2001.

Just trying to reach out via "friending", I wanted to provide some minor updates to your mod. Thank you very much for posting!

This one took the longest...by far...to mod up. With three differnt decks (cards, time machines and money) TTS balked and sputtered both on Linux and under Wine.
here though is a working version. I checked it under Win and Linux.
