Order these spirits brands by the year each was founded. You place all 33 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
This deck is all about spirits brands, with a note on the distillery, style or origin printed under each name. You're ordering them by the year each was founded. One brand starts on the line with its founding year showing. Place every new card before, between or after the brands already there. Put it in the right gap and you get the year; a wrong one still moves the card to its real place and takes one of your three lives.
Whiskey, cognac, gin, rum, vodka, tequila and liqueurs are all here, from old family distilleries to modern premium brands built for bars. The busiest stretch is the age of the great whiskey and cognac houses, when many names were established close together. Labels that boast of heritage can be younger than you'd think. The style on the card is a decent era clue, but not a reliable one.
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.
