How to play the Studio Ghibli films timeline game

Each card is a Studio Ghibli production, with its director printed under the title, and you order them by year of release. The first film is already on the line, its year beside it. For each new card, choose a gap among the films already placed. A correct choice reveals the year. A wrong one still slides the film into its real spot, but one of your three lives goes with it.

Beside the famous features, the deck includes short films made for the Ghibli Museum, a music video and a couple of co-productions, so expect titles you may not recognize. One director's name appears on many cards across the studio's whole life, which makes it the least helpful clue in the deck. The shorts are the hardest to place, since few people have seen them.

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.
