Order the Elton John studio albums by year of release. You place all 35 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
Each card is an Elton John album, title only, and you sort them by the year of release. One album sits on the timeline at the start, its year visible. Each new card goes into the gap you think fits. Right gap, and the year appears; pick wrong and the album slides into its true place, taking one of three lives.
In his early years Elton released albums at a remarkable rate, often more than one a year, so his classic era is packed tight. The deck then follows him through disco experiments, the polished pop of his comeback, duet records and later collaborations. Most people know the hits, not the album each came from, and that's where it gets difficult.
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 35 cards you might be dealt, with 7 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
