How to play the Steven Spielberg film timeline

Steven Spielberg has directed blockbusters for most of his life, and each card here is one of his films, shown by title only. You order them by the year each was released. One film starts on the timeline with its year visible, and you place each new card before, between or after the ones already down. Get the gap right and the year appears; get it wrong and the film still lands in its true spot, costing one of your three lives.

The deck reaches back to his amateur and TV work and runs through blockbusters, war films, historical dramas, family adventures and a memoir-like story of his own youth. He often released two very different films close together, so a serious drama and a popcorn movie can sit side by side. Sequels to his own hits are the classic trap.

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.
