How to play the famous memes timeline game

You're lining up famous internet memes by the year they went viral. Each card has the meme's name and, under it, a short reminder of what it showed or who was in it. A single meme starts the timeline with its year visible. Place every new card in a gap before, after or between the ones down so far. Get it right and its year appears. Get it wrong and it still takes its rightful spot, costing one of your three lives, but ten correct placements in a row bring a lost life back, up to the full three.

Expect everything from personal homepages and forwarded links to captioned cat photos, celebrity reactions, cartoon formats and absurd AI creations. The middle of the line is crowded, since a run of image macros and viral videos all spread at roughly the same time. Clues about elections, sporting events or films in the descriptions are your best anchors. Memes that never really died tend to get placed too late, because you've been seeing them for so long.

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.
