How the James Bond films timeline game works

Each card is a James Bond film, with the actor who played Bond printed under the title, and you order them by year of theatrical release. One film is placed for you at the start, its year showing. For every new card, choose a gap among the films already down. Choose right and the year is revealed. Choose wrong and the film still lands where it belongs, but you lose one of your three lives.

Alongside the official series, this deck includes a couple of oddballs made outside it, which can trip up anyone counting only the main films. The actor's name sorts most cards into eras, so the real puzzle is the order inside each one. Some stretches went a long time without a new film, while others turned them out quickly.

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.
