 Dvorak Card Game - The Time Machine Deck   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Yes, the deck was idly inspired by someone's brief summary of Chrononauts (which, on closer inspection, is rather more intricate, and fairly different in structure); we're not trying to ruthlessly undercut anyone, here, we're just archiving Dvorak games that people have played to pass the time.
Chrononauts (http://www.wunderland.com/LooneyLabs/Chrononauts) is not only an award-winning game in its own right, but its humor, ease of play, and incredibly short learning curve make it a really good game.
I've never actually played this deck, but I'd say it was different enough from Chrononauts to seem a coincidence (except for the goal, which made me suspicious.) Of course, Kevan says it was inspired by a summary of Chrononauts anyway.

Chrononauts is a card game of time travel from the designer of [page scan/se=0496/sf=category/fi=stockin.asc/ml=20]Fluxx and [page scan/se=1030/sf=category/fi=stockin.asc/ml=20]Icehouse.
As it is, any strategic planning in Chrononauts is often undercut by the randomness and the high chaos factor.
In summary, I love the potential that I saw in Chrononauts, but many aspects of the game were a big disappointment.

So far, I have not been disappointed by the efforts of Looney Labs.
Designed as both a stand alone, and to be combined with the original Chrononauts game, it both keeps the simple design and the complex strategising of the original, and builds on it by introducing a single new card-type.
In play, it behaves similarly to the original, but the gadgets add some options to speed the game in some circumstances.
