Rockline 2016

Both sides of the 1024 cards depicts a something important happening in the history of rock music and beyond. Main categories of these facts are dates of LP's and singles, but there is also loads of other things (concerts, movies, beginnings of recording formats and corporations, inventing instruments and so on). Earliest year is 1860 and the last dates are from 1986. On one side of the card there is always the thing which you have to place on the timeline and the date of the corresponding thing in the other side. Precision of the answer depends on accuracy of available source. Accuracy is usually in months, but sometimes it's an exact date or some rare cases just a year. This gives a nice balance mechanic for players with different amounts of knowledge. Know-it-all's can use months and for other players just the year is enough.

At the start of the round as many cards as there are players are delt to starting player. Starting player chooses one card and gives rest to the next player in clockwise order. When everybody has a card, the last player will place their card first in the timeline of cards and then other players will do the same in counter clockwise order. If you place your card in the right place it stays on the line, otherwise you will collect it as a minus point. After the round ends the player in the right side of previous starting player will start the new round.

Game last as many rounds as there are players. Winner is the player with least minus points.
