How to play the Ernest Hemingway books timeline

Each card is an Ernest Hemingway book or story, title only, and you sort them by year of first publication. One title starts on the timeline with its year in view. Every later card goes before, between or after what's already placed. The right gap shows you the year; a wrong call sends the card to its real place and costs you one of your three lives.

Many cards are short stories, and they cluster tightly, often several in a year. The novels and nonfiction are more spread out, and books published after his death push the deck well past his lifetime. A story you read in a collection may have appeared in a magazine first.

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.
