How to play the famous artworks timeline game

Paintings, sculptures and installations make up the deck, with the artist's name printed under each title. You're ordering the works by the year each was completed. One artwork is placed first with its year showing. Then each new card goes into the gap you choose, before, between or after the others. A correct placement shows the year; a mistake still puts the work in its proper position but takes one of your three lives.

The deck walks through Renaissance frescoes, Dutch portraits, Romanticism, Impressionism, modernism, pop art and contemporary installations, with a few masterpieces from beyond Europe. Knowing the artist is the big advantage, but the same artist's works can sit well apart on the line. The jumps between movements are where it gets hard, especially when an artist was working well before or after the style they're known for took off.

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.
