How to play the rap albums timeline game
The cards are hip-hop albums, the artist printed under each title, and you put them in order of release year. One album opens the timeline with its year in view. You then read each new card and place it before, between or after the records already down. When you're right, the year is revealed. When you're wrong, the album still goes where it belongs and you lose one of three lives.
It runs from the early crossover records and the golden age through East and West Coast classics, the rise of the South, the blog era and the streaming years. Plenty of rappers have more than one album, and their order matters. Golden-age records are packed tightly together, so expect close calls there. Veterans with late-career albums are the classic trap: a familiar name does not always mean an old record.
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.
