How the Stanley Kubrick film timeline works

Stanley Kubrick made few films, and every one he directed is here as a title with nothing printed beneath. The task is to order them by release year. You begin with one film on the timeline, its year shown. For every new card, decide which gap it falls into. Drop it in the right place and the year appears; pick wrong and the film still lands in its real place, taking one of your three lives.

Besides the famous features there are documentary shorts and low-budget early pictures, and the deck crosses war, crime, sci-fi, period drama and horror. Because he took so long over his famous films, the gaps between them are wide, while the smaller cards crowd together. The documentary shorts are the ones most players can't place.

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.
