Order the U2 studio albums by year of release. You place all 27 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
The cards are U2 releases, title only, and you order them by the year each came out. One record starts on the timeline with its year showing. Every new card goes into a gap you choose, before, between or after the ones already down. A placement that holds reveals the year; get it wrong and the card moves to its real place while you lose one of three lives.
Besides the studio albums, this deck pulls in live sets, soundtracks, promos and odd collections, so expect titles you've never seen. The studio records trace the band from post-punk beginnings through the anthemic peak, the reinvention with electronics and irony, and the later return to big rock. The reinvention years are crowded with side releases, which is where most runs fall apart.
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 27 of the 27 cards you might be dealt. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
