Order the books Agatha Christie wrote by the year each was first published. You place all 32 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
The cards are Agatha Christie books, title only, and you order them by year of first publication. One book opens the timeline with its year visible. Each new card goes into the gap you choose among the books already placed. Pick well and its year is shown; pick wrong and the book still lands in its real place, costing one of three lives.
Christie published at a steady clip for her whole career, so the gaps are small and there are few big jumps to lean on. Poirot, Miss Marple, thrillers and standalones are spread throughout, so the detective won't date a book for you. Her peak years are especially crowded, and the late books are the ones few people can place.
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 32 cards you might be dealt, with 4 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
