Country keeps its subjects for decades: trucks, heartbreak, home. That means the lyrics rarely help, and it is the production that tells the era.
The shift from classic country to country pop is easy to hear, which makes the genre a friendlier timeline than it first looks.

- 2
Pick a deck
Choose a popular deck, one of your own, or scan the QR code of a deck you have.
- 3

Add everyone who plays and choose how many cards are needed to win. One phone is enough.
- 4
Listen and place
Hear a 30 second preview and place the song on your timeline. Right answers grow your timeline, the first to fill it wins.
The timeline in one look
Every player builds a timeline of songs in release order. You never see the year of the new song: you listen, then decide where it fits between the songs you already placed.
Tips for this game
Listen for the steel guitar
Prominent steel guitar and fiddle point to older records.
Notice the polish
Clean, radio-ready production is the 90s onwards, rawer recordings are older.
Mix in some pop
Crossover hits make a deck that appeals to the whole room.
What you get
One phone, whole group
The phone goes from hand to hand. Nobody needs their own device or an account.
Real music
Songs play as 30 second previews, enough to recognise a chorus and argue about the year.
Free decks to start
Popular public decks are free to play. Want your own songs? Turn any playlist into a deck, the first 100 cards are free.
Prefer real cards?
The same game also exists on printed cards with a QR code on every card. See how that works for this subject.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a country deck?
Check the popular decks after logging in, or paste a country playlist to build one.
Is it fun if I do not know country?
Yes. You never need the artist, only a feel for old versus new.
Do I need to install an app?
No. The game runs in your phone browser. You only log in with a code sent to your email address.
Can we play together on different phones?
Not yet. The game is made for one phone that the group passes around, the way you would pass a stack of cards.
