Chain
Order by the year each chain was founded. You place all 49 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Burger joints, pizza places, doughnut shops and coffee houses: each card is a food chain, with where it started or what it first sold printed under the name. You're ordering them by the year each chain was founded. One chain is on the line to start with its year showing. Slot every new card into the gap you think is right. Correct picks reveal the founding year; incorrect ones still put the chain where it belongs and cost one of three lives.
Roadside stands, drive-ins, franchises, coffee roasters and fast-casual spots all show up, roughly tracking how eating out has changed. The postwar boom is packed, with chains launching almost on top of each other. Big global names can be younger than small regional favorites. The founding town printed on the card is fun to read, but it rarely decides a close call.
