Order the Michael Jackson studio albums by year of release. You place all 21 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
The cards are Michael Jackson releases, title only, and you're ordering them by year. One record starts on the timeline with the year in view. Every new card goes into a gap before, between or after those already placed. A correct guess puts the year on display; a wrong guess moves the card to its real spot and costs one of your three lives.
The famous studio albums are spread out, with long gaps between them, so they're the easy part. The hard part is everything else: the solo records from his Motown boyhood, soundtracks, remix and promo releases, and posthumous albums. Many of those are unfamiliar, and they cluster in places you might not expect.
