How to play the Tom Hanks movie timeline

Your job is to put Tom Hanks's films back in the order they came out. Almost every card has the director's name under the title. One film starts on the timeline with its year showing, and each new card goes into a gap before, between or after the films already placed. Choose well and the year appears. Choose badly and the film still lands in its true spot, but it costs you one of three lives.

His career began in broad comedies and turned toward prestige drama, true stories and wartime epics, with voice work and a few odd detours along the way. He has never really slowed down, so the later stretch is crowded with films that feel interchangeable in time. Directors who cast him more than once are a mixed blessing, since some of those partnerships run across most of his career. The quieter character pieces are what usually catch people out.

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.
