How it works

Every card hides one thing: its year

Everything else is nerve.

  1. Spin the wheel

    Seven categories: history, sports, music, science & technology, society, film & TV, and arts & culture. The wheel picks your card.

  2. Place the card

    The year stays hidden. Slot the event into your timeline where you think it belongs.

  3. Push your luck

    Right placements stay — but one wrong guess and everything you haven’t locked this turn is gone. Stop early to bank it.

  4. Race to the win

    First player to lock in the target number of cards takes the game.
