How the Bill Murray movie timeline game works

Bill Murray turns up in comedies, cult films and a surprising number of cameos, and each card here is one of them, with its director named. You arrange them by year of release, starting from one film already on the line with its year in view. For each new card, choose where it fits among those placed. The right gap shows you the year; pick wrong and the film still lands in its true place, but one of your three lives is gone.

He is both a broad comedy star and a deadpan regular for indie and art-house directors, and he keeps turning up in sequels to his old comedies. A few directors account for a large share of the deck, so their names connect films rather than date them. The returning comedy franchises are where you'll stumble, since the sequels arrive at very different points.

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.
