How the DreamWorks Animation timeline game works

The cards are DreamWorks Animation features, each with its director printed under the title, and you sort them by year of release. You begin with one film on the line, its year visible. Each new card goes into whichever gap you pick among the films already placed. Pick well and the year appears. Pick badly and the film still lands in its true place, but you lose one of three lives.

The studio's franchises do a lot of the work: ogres, zoo animals, kung fu and dragons all came back for sequels, and those make handy anchors. The originals in between are harder, especially the hand-drawn epics and the films made with a British studio partner. Releases cluster tightly, with two or more films often landing close together.

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.
