Order the Metallica studio albums by year of release. You place all 12 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
Every card is a Metallica album, title only, and your job is to order them by release year. One album is on the timeline at the start with its year visible. Read each new card and put it into a gap among the albums already placed. When it lands right, the year is shown; a wrong gap still sends the album to its true spot and takes one of your three lives.
The early thrash records came out quickly, one after another, and their order is the first test. After the band's mainstream breakthrough, the gaps grow longer and the styles shift, from hard rock to rawer experiments to a return to thrash. A collaboration record is in here too, and it tends to get placed in the wrong era.
