How to play the Tom Cruise movie timeline

This one is all Tom Cruise: his films, ordered by release year, with the director shown on nearly every card. You begin with one film on the timeline and its year in plain view. Take each new card and place it where you think it falls relative to the rest. If the gap is right, the year shows; if not, the film moves to its correct place and you lose one of your three lives.

Teen dramas gave way to a long reign as a movie star, mixing prestige roles with an action franchise that runs through most of his career. The director line is genuinely useful, because many directors worked with him only once, though a few did return. The spy series is the classic trap: its installments can feel closer together, or farther apart, than they really were.

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.
