How to play the children's and YA books timeline

Every card is a children's or young adult book, with the author printed under the title, and you place them by year of first publication. One book starts on the timeline with its year showing. Each new card goes into a gap among the books already down. A hit uncovers the year; if you're wrong, the book moves to its true spot and costs you one of three lives.

The shelf runs from classic fantasy adventures and picture books through boarding-school magic, dystopian trilogies and the graphic novels and contemporary YA of recent years. The author helps when you know their career, and some writers appear more than once. Books that became films much later, or that every generation seems to read at school, are easy to misplace.

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.
