How to play the Illumination films timeline game

Every card is an Illumination feature, with the director under each title, and you sort them by year of release. A film is already sitting on the timeline when you start, its year shown. Each new card goes into a gap you choose among the films already placed. Choose correctly and the year appears; choose wrong and the film still moves to its true position, costing one of your three lives.

It's a small deck dominated by one franchise and its little yellow spin-offs, so sequel numbers do a lot of the lifting. The standalone films and adaptations in between are harder to pin down. A few directors return again and again, which ties cards together without telling you the order. With so few cards, each miss weighs heavily.

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.
