How to play the Horror films timeline game

Every card is a horror film, and you sort them by the year it was released. The director is printed under each title. The line opens with one film already placed and its year visible. Read each new card and set it in the gap where you think it belongs. Pick correctly and the year is revealed. Pick wrong and the film still moves to its true position, costing one of your three lives.

The deck crawls from silent expressionism and the old monster pictures through slashers, possession stories and found footage to the art-house horror of recent years. Directors with more than one card help you build little clusters. Remakes and films that share a name with something older are the classic trap, as are cult favorites that are older than their reputation suggests.

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.
