How to play the Stephen King books timeline
Each card is a Stephen King book, title only, and you sort them by the year each was first published. One book starts on the timeline with its year showing. You place each new card in a gap before, between or after those already down. A correct placement uncovers the year; a wrong one moves the book to its true spot and costs you one of your three lives.
King has published at an incredible clip, so his early horror classics, story collections, pen-name novels and the long-running fantasy series all pile up close together. Books written under his pseudonym are the classic trap, since many came out in the same years as his famous novels. Film adaptations can also mislead you, because a movie may have arrived long after the book.
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.
