How the condiments and sauces timeline game works

Sauces, spreads, mustards and seasonings: each card is a condiment, with a short description printed below the name. You're ordering them by the year each was introduced. One condiment starts on the timeline with its year showing. For each new card, pick the gap where you think it belongs. Correct, and the year appears; incorrect, and it still lands in its true spot, taking one of your three lives.

Mustards, steak sauces, ketchup, yeast spreads, hot sauces, dressings and jarred pasta sauces all appear, from British, American, Asian and European kitchens. Hot sauces are the classic trap, since several look alike and were launched at very different times. Brands that feel modern because of their packaging are often much older. The descriptions are short, so lean on what you know about each brand's home country.

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.
