How to play the Isaac Asimov books timeline

Each card is an Isaac Asimov story or book, title only, and you order them by the year each was first published. One title starts on the timeline with its year showing. Every new card goes into a gap before, between or after those already placed. Nail it and the year is revealed; miss and the card moves to its real spot and costs one of your three lives.

The deck covers short stories from the pulp magazines alongside novels, collections and late-career sequels. A short story usually came out well before the collection that gathered it, so a familiar title can be older than the book you read it in. The robot and galactic-empire tales run on parallel tracks, which makes the early stretch crowded.

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.
