How to play the Latin hits timeline game

Every card is a Latin hit, from rock and roll covers of folk songs to salsa, merengue, bachata, Latin pop and reggaeton. The song title is on the card with the performer below it, and the goal is to order them by the year each was released. You begin with one card already placed and its year in view. Pick a gap for each new card. Place it well and the year is revealed; miss and it still lands where it belongs, though it costs you one of three lives.

The early cards come from crossover moments when a Latin rhythm reached a wide radio audience, while the later ones track the rise of global streaming stars. Listen for production clues: horn sections and live percussion lean one way, while the dembow beat leans another. Several big names appear more than once, so it helps to remember the order of their eras.

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.
