How to play the Al Pacino movie timeline game

The cards are Al Pacino films, each showing the director's name, and they go in order of release. You get one film on the timeline to begin with, year already visible. Each new card asks the same question: where does it fit among the ones already down? Get it right and its year appears; get it wrong and it still lands in its real place, but one of your three lives is gone.

His run of crime and police dramas is legendary, and the gangster saga that made him returns more than once. Beyond it he worked constantly in thrillers, courtroom and political dramas, comedies and supporting parts, with a lasting love of Shakespeare that even led him to direct. The busiest stretches are the hardest to order. Directors who came back to him are spread out, so treat the subtitle as a hint rather than a date.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
