How the HBO shows timeline game works

Each card is an HBO original series, and you order them by the year each first aired. Only the title is printed on the card. One show starts on the timeline with its year showing. Read each new card and place it in the gap where you think it premiered. Nail the gap and the year is revealed. Wrong ones still move the show to its true place, but one of three lives is gone.

The deck traces the channel's rise as a home for prestige television, with crime sagas, period epics, war miniseries, sharp comedies and a talk show along the way. Big names arrive in waves, so some stretches are packed. Spin-offs and prequels of earlier hits are the classic trap, because they can arrive long after the shows that inspired 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.
