Order the Neil Young studio albums by year of release. You place all 39 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
The cards are Neil Young albums, title only, and you place them by release year. One album sits on the timeline at the start, year in view. Each new card goes into a gap you pick, earlier or later than what's already down. Pick right and the year is revealed; pick wrong and the album still lands in its proper place, taking one of your three lives.
His catalog swings constantly between gentle country-folk and loud, ragged rock, with detours into electronic music, rockabilly, blues and soundtrack work. Because he jumps back and forth, the style of a record tells you little about when it came out. He also released albums at a steady clip for a very long time, so the middle of his career is full of titles even fans struggle to order.
