How to play the Ridley Scott film timeline

Ridley Scott works at a pace few directors match, and each card here is one of his films, shown by title alone. They go in order of release. One sits on the line when you start, with its year in view. You take each new card and slot it into a gap among those already placed. A right slot reveals the year; a wrong one still moves the film to its true position and costs one of three lives.

Advertising was his training ground. He made his name in sci-fi, then ranged across historical epics, crime films, war stories and thrillers, and he has only sped up with age. The busiest stretch is crowded with films that came out close together. Sequels and prequels to his own hits are the most common trap, and a short film and a famous commercial are easy to overlook.

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.
