Watch a music video. Guess when the song came out. First full timeline wins.
You watch a video with everyone else and decide where that song sits on your timeline. Earlier than this one, later than that one. Nobody tells you the year, so you are reading the clothes, the production and the size of the video budget.
Anyone can challenge a placement they think is wrong, and that is where the evening usually starts. Win the challenge and you take the card. Name the song outright and you earn a star.
Nobody sits out for long, a game runs about fifteen minutes, and it works with two people or eight.
A TV, laptop or tablet — a phone each
Open the board on the television, laptop or tablet everyone can see. The music videos play there, big and loud, while each player places songs and fires off challenges from their own phone. One screen for the show, one in every hand.

Your own phone, tablet or laptop — anywhere in the world
