AUSTIN, Texas (November 23, 2015) – You are in danger of flunking most-heinously tomorrow!

Travel across the circuits of history with up to four players, collecting personages of historical significance in order to pass tomorrow's oral report. But beware! Every time you snatch someone, the phone booth breaks most non-triumphantly, and your adventure through time will take a most serious turn!

Be excellent to each other . . . and PARTY ON, DUDES!

Steve Jackson Games finds the whole thing bodacious. "Welcome to the future," says Rhea Friesen, the Marketing Director for Steve Jackson Games. Co-designer Randy Scheunemann, stated late Thursday, "No Way!" To which co-designer Samuel Mitschke responded, "Yes Way! It's Bill and Ted's Excellent Boardgame... SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!"
