Order the Willie Nelson studio albums by year of release. You place all 40 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
Each card is a Willie Nelson album, title only, and you sort them by year of release. An opening album is placed for you, year in view. Read each new card and drop it into a gap among the albums already down. Call it right and the year comes up; a wrong guess moves the album to its true place and costs you one of three lives.
Willie has released albums at a staggering pace for his whole career, from his Nashville songwriter days through the outlaw breakthrough and pop standards to a late flood of records. That means plenty of years with more than one album, and many titles even fans won't know. Covers albums and holiday records turn up at all stages, so a familiar style won't date one.
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 28 of the 40 cards you might be dealt, with 12 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
