Order the Bruce Springsteen studio albums by year of release. You place all 20 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
Every card is a Bruce Springsteen album, just the title, and you sort them by the year each came out. One album starts on the timeline with its year showing. Choose a gap for each new card among the albums already placed. Nail the gap and the year is revealed; if it's wrong, the album slides to its correct spot and costs you one of three lives.
The albums go from the wordy Jersey Shore records and the arena rock of his peak to stripped-down acoustic albums, E Street reunions and a record of covers. He alternates between full-band rock and quiet solo albums throughout, so the sound alone won't date a record. Twin releases and long gaps between albums both make certain stretches harder than they look.
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 20 of the 20 cards you might be dealt. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
