How the Roald Dahl books timeline game works
The cards are Roald Dahl books and stories, title only, and you sort them by year of first publication. One title starts on the timeline with its year showing. Each fresh card is yours to slot in. A correct slot shows the year; a wrong one moves the card to its true spot and costs one of three lives.
Dahl wrote twisty short stories for adults as well as his children's books, and both are here. The children's classics are the ones you'll know, but they're spread across his career, so a favorite from childhood isn't necessarily an early one. The adult stories and collections are where most runs fall apart.
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.
