History of the World Variants

This page provides access to some variant rules I've written for History of the World, a semi-abstract beer-and-pretzels pseudo-simulation of the entirety of human history. The changes are divided into:

Rules to speed the game up.

Rules to add an eighth epoch.

Rules to add historical features neglected by the designers ... basically, chrome.
