How the Thriller track order game works

The cards are songs from Thriller, and you're ordering Michael Jackson's landmark album exactly as it runs. One track starts out on the line with its number. You place each remaining title into a gap. A correct placement reveals the track number; a wrong one still moves the song to its true spot and takes one of your three lives.

It's a short album, and nearly every song on it is famous, which sounds easy until you realize you know them as singles, not as a running order. Few cards means few gaps, but also no room to recover. The duet and the quieter songs are the ones people tend to misplace. Think about how the album opens and how it winds down.
