Order the Madonna studio albums by year of release. You place all 29 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
Every card is a Madonna release, title only, and the aim is to sort them by year. One record opens the timeline with its year visible. For each new card, pick the gap where it fits among those already down. Pick correctly and the year is revealed; pick wrongly and the record still moves to its true place, costing one of your three lives.
Alongside the studio albums you'll find soundtracks, remix collections and promo releases, many with titles you won't recognize. The studio work moves from dance-pop beginnings through the provocative years, the electronic reinvention, the club records and her later albums. Remix releases tied to a hit album cluster near it, so whole runs of cards land close together.
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 29 cards you might be dealt, with 1 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
