How to play the brewery founding timeline game

Breweries from around the world make up this deck, each with a note on where it's based or what it's known for. You're putting them in order of the year each was founded. One brewery is placed at the start with its founding year showing. Choose where each new card goes among the breweries already down. Right, and the year shows; wrong, and the brewery still moves to its true spot, taking one of your three lives.

Old-world brewing houses, big industrial lager names and independent craft brewers all appear, so the line covers a very long stretch. The craft cards bunch tightly, which makes the gaps there small and tricky. Big mass-market brands are often older than you'd guess. The city in each note is a good clue to the style of beer, but not always to the age of the brewery.

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.
