How to play the Charles Dickens books timeline
Every card is a Charles Dickens work, title only, and you sort them by the year each was first published. One work starts on the timeline with its year showing. Each new card goes into a gap you pick. Find the right gap and the year shows; a wrong one moves the card to its true place and takes one of your three lives.
Beyond the big novels, the deck includes Christmas books, travel writing, journalism and periodicals he edited, plus work published after his death. Dickens often had serials running at the same time, so several titles share a year. The famous novels are well spaced, but the shorter pieces in between are what trip people up.
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.
