How to play the rock albums timeline game

Each card is a rock album with the band or artist under the title, and you sort them by year of release. You start with one album on the timeline, its year shown. For every new card, pick the gap you think it belongs in. A correct guess reveals the year; a wrong one still drops the album into its real slot and costs a life, and losing all three lives ends the run, though ten right in a row wins one back.

The ground covered is huge: folk rock and psychedelia, classic rock, punk and post-punk, stadium rock, grunge, Britpop, the garage revival and modern indie. Some bands have several albums here, so the deck often asks you to order a group against itself. The classic-rock stretch is dense, with famous albums released within months of each other. Indie bands with a retro sound are the most common trap.

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.
