How the coffee chains timeline game works

Coffee chains, roasters and café brands are the cards here, each with a note on where it comes from. Order them by the year each was founded. One starts on the line with its year showing. For every new card, pick a gap before, between or after those already placed. Get it right and the founding year appears; get it wrong and it still lands in its real spot, but you lose one of three lives.

Grand old European coffee houses and roasters share the line with American chains, drive-throughs and Asian brands. The specialty coffee boom is a crowded stretch, with roasters and cafés appearing close together. A name you see on every corner isn't necessarily old, and some quiet family companies go back a very long way. The home city on each card helps more with the old names than the new.

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.
