How to play the Rom-Coms timeline game

Each card is a romantic comedy, from screwball classics to streaming-era favorites, with its two lead actors named below the title. You line the films up by year of release. The first card sits on the timeline with its year showing. Slot each new film into whichever gap looks right. A correct guess shows the year, while a miss still moves the film to where it really belongs and takes one of your three lives.

Stars help most here, since the genre's leading faces tend to work in clusters and the same pairings and names keep coming back. A star with a long career can anchor films many years apart, though, so don't treat a familiar name as a fixed point. The crowded stretch of wedding plots and meet-cutes is especially tough to separate. Hairstyles and soundtracks may come to mind before the year does, and that memory is often all you need.

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.
