How the rap songs timeline game works
Every card is a rap single, with the artist and any featured guests listed under the title. Your task is to order them by the year each was released. A single starts on the timeline with its year showing, and every new card has to go into one of the gaps around it. Get the gap right and you see the year. Get it wrong and the song moves to its true place anyway, costing you one of your three lives.
The songs cover rap's whole run on the radio, from party records and electro through the golden age and the West Coast sound to crunk, trap and the viral hits of recent years. Featured artists on the card can help you date a song, since some guests were only big for a short stretch. Superstars with long careers are the hard part, because their singles spread out across their whole run.
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.
