How to play the John Grisham books timeline

Each card is a John Grisham book, title only, and the aim is to put them in order of first publication. One book opens the timeline, its year visible. Every new card goes into the gap you pick. Drop it in the right place and the year appears; get it wrong and the book still lands in its real place, costing one of your three lives.

Grisham has published at a steady rate since his breakout, mostly legal thrillers, so neighbors sit very close together. Scattered among the courtroom novels are sports stories, a holiday comedy, a small-town drama and a work of nonfiction, and those breaks from formula are hard to place. The early legal thrillers are well known; the later ones tend to blur together.

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.
