How the Ray Bradbury books timeline game works

Every card is a Ray Bradbury book or story, title only, and you put them in order of first publication. One title opens the timeline with its year visible. For each new card, choose the gap where it belongs. Choose right and the year appears; choose wrong and the card still moves to its true position, taking one of three lives.

Many of these cards are short stories, and Bradbury published a huge number of them in a burst early in his career, so the opening stretch is packed. Stories often appeared in magazines before turning up in a collection, so a story can predate the book you know it from. His later years are thinner, and that's where the novels and collections spread out.

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.
