Dealing & Setup

Place a shuffled deck, year-down, in the middle of the table.

Who Goes First

All players go at the same time.

Game Play

  1. The first player declares the decade they believe the event on the top of the deck occurred.
  2. If a player wants to choose a decade that has already been declared, they will need to declare a specific year within that decade.
    • If a player tries to claim a decade that has already been declared, the person who first declared the decade gets the opportunity to choose the specific year within that decade, first.
  3. Each player may change their answer as many times as they desire.
  4. When all players have chosen a decade/year, one person will flip over the top card to reveal the year.
  5. The person who guessed the decade correctly wins that card. If nobody guessed the correct decade, the card should be placed face-down, in a separate stack, on the table.
  6. If a person collects 3 cards, they win. If the table collects 3 cards, all players lose.
  7. Continue play until a winner or group of losers has been determined.
