The zombie horde is at it again. Shuffle, mumble, braiiiiiins, munch. Rinse and repeat, you know the drill. In Operation: Eradicate your task is to overcome the zombie hordes and get the disease under control before a tipping point is reached and the population of the entire world is devoured. To do this you'll assemble a 2 to 4 person team that will work together to move around the planet, fighting back the infected while trying to find a cure to the disease.

The setup for Timeline is about as simple as it gets. All you have to do is place down cards that have different inventions/discoveries/etc on them in the order that they came into being.
