Order the Robert De Niro films by year of release. You place all 45 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
Every card is a Robert De Niro picture with its director underneath, and you order them by release year. One film starts on the line with its year shown. You then take the cards one at a time and slot each into a gap among the films already placed. A good placement reveals the year and keeps the card in place; a bad one still moves it to its true position, but you're down one of three lives.
The deck follows him from gritty New York crime dramas through a famous run of intense character work and into a later career full of family comedies and supporting roles. One director appears far more often than any other, across nearly the whole span, so that name alone won't place a card. The comedies are where it gets slippery, since a run of family and buddy films can feel like they all came out at once.
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.
Here are 28 of the 45 cards you might be dealt, with 17 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
