Ship
Order by the year each ship was launched. You place all 37 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Famous ships sail through this deck, each with a short description printed under its name, like Tudor warship or Cunard liner. You're putting them in order of the year each was launched. One ship begins on the timeline with its launch year showing. For every new card, pick the gap you think is right. Correct, and the year appears; incorrect, and it still sails into its true spot but costs you one of three lives.
Wooden warships, clippers, ocean liners, battleships, supercarriers and giant cruise ships all appear, so the deck traces centuries of shipbuilding. Liners and battleships crowd together around the wars. It's the launch that counts, not the moment that made a ship famous, so one known for a later disaster or battle may have gone into the water well before. The descriptions often hint at an era.
