Order the Dolly Parton studio albums by year of release. You place all 40 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
Every card is a Dolly Parton album, just the title, and you put them in order of release year. One album begins on the timeline with the year showing. Each new card goes into the gap you pick. When the spot is right, the year comes up; wrong ones still send the album to its rightful spot and take one of your three lives.
Dolly's early career was astonishingly busy, with several albums in some years, including duet and tribute records alongside her solo work. The deck then follows her crossover into pop and film, a return to bluegrass roots, and later projects including a rock album. Holiday and gospel records appear at different points, so the theme of an album tells you little.
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 40 cards you might be dealt, with 12 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
