How to play the Cure albums timeline

Every card is a Cure album, title only, and you place them by the year each was released. One album starts on the timeline with its year visible. Each new card goes into the gap you choose. The right gap shows you the year; if it's wrong, the album lands in its true place anyway and costs you one of three lives.

The band swings between bleak, atmospheric records and bright, poppy ones, and they never keep to one side for long, so mood is a poor clue. Early on the albums came yearly; later, the gaps stretched much wider. A live release is also in the deck, so not every card is a studio album.

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.
