How to play the Roger Deakins cinematography timeline

Roger Deakins photographed every film in this deck, and the director's name is printed under nearly every title. You order them by release year. One film starts on the timeline with its year showing. Each new card goes into a gap you choose. Right gaps reveal the year; wrong ones still move the film to its true spot and cost you one of three lives.

He spent much of his career as the regular cinematographer for one pair of filmmaking brothers, and their films are scattered through the deck. Around them come prison dramas, war films, westerns, spy thrillers, sci-fi and even animated films, where he served as a visual consultant. Several other directors hired him repeatedly, so the subtitle links cards more than it dates them.

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.
