Order the Bruno Delbonnel films by year of release. You place all 18 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
With the director printed under each title, the cards in this deck are films lit by Bruno Delbonnel, and you put them in order of release. One film begins on the timeline with its year in view. Each new card needs a gap among those already down. Put it in the right gap and you get the year; get it wrong and the film still lands in its true place, costing one of your three lives.
His warm, painterly look runs through French romances, a wizarding sequel, gothic fantasy, a folk-music drama, a western anthology and a black-and-white Shakespeare adaptation. It's a small deck, but several directors hired him more than once, a Russian auteur among them. Those repeat collaborations are where it gets close, because the shared style makes them feel like neighbors.
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 18 of the 18 cards you might be dealt. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
