How the Frances McDormand movie timeline game works

Order Frances McDormand's films by release year, using the director named under each title as your clue. One film is on the line at the start, its year shown. Each turn, read the new card and choose its gap among the films already placed. Put it in the right gap and you get the year; a wrong one still moves the film to its proper place, costing one of three lives.

She has worked again and again with a pair of filmmaking brothers, one of whom she married, and that partnership runs through the whole deck. Around it she built a career of sharp supporting roles in indie dramas and the odd blockbuster, along with leading parts that brought her the biggest acclaim. Her supporting turns in other people's films are the hardest to place.

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.
