How to play the rock debut albums timeline
Every card is a rock act, and the title of its first album is printed just below the name. You arrange the acts by the year that first album came out. To begin, one act is already on the timeline with its year shown. Each new card goes into a gap of your choosing. A good call reveals the year and the card stays; a bad call moves it to the right place and takes one of your three lives.
The acts stretch from the folk and beat-group era through psychedelia, hard rock, punk and new wave, arena rock, grunge, Britpop and the garage-rock revival. The tricky part is that you're dating a starting point, not a peak: a band famous for later albums may have debuted earlier than you'd guess. Acts that broke out around the same time can sit almost on top of each other, so close calls are common.
