How to play the company founding timeline game

Famous companies fill this deck, and the timeline orders them by the year each one was founded. Printed under every name is its industry, such as brewing, software or sportswear. A single company starts on the line with its founding year showing. Read the next card, then drop it into the gap before, between or after the ones placed so far. If you're right, the year is revealed; if not, the card still slides into its correct spot and you lose one of three lives.

Centuries-old merchants share the line with the giants of the internet age, so the deck covers a lot of ground. Tech firms crowd together toward the recent end, often only a short gap apart. Old consumer brands are the sneaky cards, since plenty of household names were founded long before the products that made them famous. Treat the industry label as a rough era guide, never a sure thing.

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.
