How the pop culture moment games play
These seven decks follow the events people talk about. Time Person of the Year and Academy Awards hosts each have 40 cards, with hosts placed by their earliest ceremony. Famous Super Bowl commercials goes by the year of the game, Met Gala themes by the gala that opened each Costume Institute show, and Celebrity weddings, British royal family events and Famous trials each hold 35 cards dated by the wedding, the event or the verdict. Every card goes on the line alone, and a misplaced one costs a life.
Royal events and famous trials suit news watchers, since big moments tend to stick. Academy Awards hosts is harder than it looks: several hosts came back many times, and the deck only counts the first. Met Gala themes rewards fashion fans, and Time Person of the Year stretches far enough back that some honorees will be names from history class. Celebrity weddings plays best with a group, where someone always remembers the magazine cover.
