How the national parks timeline game works

Order these national parks by the year each was established. Under every park's name is its state, province or country. One park starts on the timeline with its year showing. For every new card, choose a gap among the parks already there. Right, and its founding year appears. Wrong, and the park still lands in its proper spot, but it costs you one of three lives.

Most of the deck is American, with famous parks from Africa, Europe, Oceania and South America mixed in. The trap is that many landscapes were protected long before they got the national park label, so a famous place may have been upgraded much later than you'd guess. The early years of the park movement are crowded. Think about when the idea of national parks reached each country.

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.
