Order by the year each diss track was released. You place all 30 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
The cards here are songs written to take a shot at someone: an old bandmate, a rival rapper, a critic, an ex or a whole city's music scene. Each one shows the song title and the artist who fired it. You order the cards by the year each track was released. One song opens the game on the line with its year showing. Every new card goes into a gap. Choose correctly and its year shows up; choose wrong and it still slides into its real position, but you lose one of your three lives.
Rock and folk musicians traded barbs long before hip-hop made the diss track an art form, with famous feuds between Beatles, Southern rockers and New York rap crews. Many tracks arrived as quick replies, so a feud often clusters its songs close together. Knowing who was answering whom is the best way to keep a run going.
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.
Here are 28 of the 30 cards you might be dealt, with 2 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
