How the Nobel Peace Prize timeline game works
Nobel Peace Prize laureates are on these cards, with a line on what each was honored for printed under the name. The aim is to order them by the year each won. One laureate starts on the timeline with their year showing. Read every new card and drop it into the gap where it belongs. Drop it in the right place and the year appears; wrong, and the laureate still goes to their true spot, costing one of your three lives.
Laureates range from early pacifists and statesmen to activists, dissidents, journalists and campaigners from every corner of the world. The prize can lag well behind the work that earned it, so someone known for something early in life may have won much later. Laureates tied to the same movement or conflict often sit close together. The note usually points to the event the prize was for.
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.
