Decades

1. Shuffle the deck and place it in the middle of the table, year hidden.
2. That's it. No cards are dealt to players.

Everyone plays at the same time. There are no turns.

1. Read the event on the top card out loud (don't flip it).
2. Each player declares the decade they think the event happened in (e.g., "the 1970s").
3. If two or more players want the same decade, they each have to pick a specific year inside that decade. The player who claimed the decade first picks their year first. Each later player must pick a different year in that same decade.
4. Players can change their answer as many times as they want.
5. When everyone says they're done, flip the top card to reveal the year.
6. Reveal who won the card:
   • One player got the decade correct: they win the card and keep it in front of them.
   • Multiple players got the decade correct: the player whose specific year matches the actual year exactly wins. If no specific year matches, the card goes to The Table (a separate face-down stack in the middle).
   • No one got the decade correct: the card goes to The Table.
7. Move to the next card and play another round. Reactions, gloating, and "I almost said that!" are encouraged.

1. The first player to win 3 cards wins the game.
2. If The Table wins 3 cards before any single player does, everyone loses to The Table.

Q Cards players love inventing their own rules and naming them after each other. Make up a Decades variant and we'll add it here.
