How to play the David Bowie albums timeline

The cards are David Bowie albums, title only, and you put them in order by release year. One album is on the timeline at the start, with its year visible. Every new card goes into a gap you choose. Pick the right one and the year is revealed; pick the wrong one and the album still lands where it belongs, while you give up one of three lives.

Bowie's reinventions are all here: the folk-tinged beginnings, glam, plastic soul, the Berlin records, the polished pop of his commercial peak, the industrial and drum and bass experiments, and the late work. The deck also includes soundtracks, spoken-word pieces and archive releases, which can land anywhere. His busiest years produced more than one record, so the order within an era matters.

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.
