Preparation
- Shuffle cards and place them face down in a draw pile.
- Each player draws one card, places it face up. This is the start of your timeline.
- If using tokens (optional), give each player 3 tokens.
- Decide who goes first (e.g., youngest player).
Using Tokens (Optional)
Don't know the song? Discard it and draw a new one.
If an opponent places a card incorrectly, challenge them! If you place it correctly in your timeline, you steal the card.
Take any card from another player's timeline and add it to yours.
Simplified / Paperless Version
Perfect for quick games or playing entirely digitally with Bopster Live.
- Use Bopster Live to manage the deck.
- Scan a card. State if the song is OLDER or NEWER than the last played card.
- Check the year. If correct, you get a point (or keep the card).
- The card just played becomes the new reference point.
- First to 5 points wins!
