Four hourglasses with different running times are hidden under cups. On their turn, a player uses a colored die to identify one of them and guesses whether its sand has run out. If they think it's still running, they say "No," do nothing, and pass the die. But... they could be wrong!
Doubters who "sense the end of time" shout "Yes!" and prove that this hourglass has already run out of sand. To do this, they lift the cup and... "Ohh!"... only time is ever right!
The hourglasses are turned over after each "test"—even if they are still running. The colored die also ensures that the hidden timers constantly change positions. This blurs the lines between space and time in some players' minds. True time management is rewarded with victory at the end of the game.
