How to play the Christian Bale movie timeline

Under each title you'll find a director's name; the title itself is a Christian Bale film, and your job is to place it by release year. One film is on the timeline from the start, year showing. For each card you draw, pick a gap among the films already placed. A right pick reveals the year and keeps the card there; a wrong pick still moves it to its true spot but costs one of your three lives.

He was a child actor in period films and musicals and grew into a performer who reshapes his body for each role, moving through dark indie dramas, a superhero trilogy, westerns, war films and true stories. Directors who cast him again and again are scattered across the deck. The lesser-known European and art-house productions are the hardest to place, because few people have seen them.

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.
