How to play the distance from the Eiffel Tower game

World-famous landmarks are on these cards, each with its city or country printed below, and you rank them by straight-line distance from the Eiffel Tower in kilometers. One landmark starts on the line with its distance showing. Decide whether each new card goes above or below the landmarks already placed. Pick right and the distance appears; pick wrong and the landmark still slides into its true spot, costing you one of three lives.

Some of these sights are a short train ride from Paris, while others sit across oceans, so the line has a quick start and a long tail. Ancient wonders, natural sights and modern towers all mix in, which means you're judging places, not eras. The trickiest calls are pairs on different continents that turn out to be almost equally far from Paris.
