How to play the Meryl Streep movie timeline game

Here the cards are Meryl Streep films, each with its director printed below the title, sorted by year of release. A single film is already down with its year showing when you start. From there, every new card is a judgment call: before it, after it, or somewhere in between. Land it in the right gap and the year shows; miss, and it still settles into its true place at the cost of one of three lives.

Few actors are harder to pin down by genre. She moved from heavy literary dramas and accent-driven roles toward comedies, musicals and big ensemble pictures, without ever giving up the serious parts. The deck reaches from her earliest screen work right up to her most recent releases. Period pieces are the trap here, because she played so many of them that costume alone tells you very little.

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.
