Chronological Fun for the Whole Family

Once upon a time, I had an idea for a Trivial Pursuit style board game. Something fun for the whole family. But instead of questions, each card would have three thematically connected things on it, and you'd have to put them in chronological order. Awesome!

For example, you might draw a card with Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa,  Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, and Van Gogh's Starry Night. Kids would love this! Fun for the whole family! There could even be a sports edition, with exciting triplets such as: Mickey Klutts, Graig Nettles, and Clete Boyer.

Or maybe not.

It did make a pretty good test, however, and Terry, MJ, and Stacey tear it up. Give it a shot and see if you can hang with them.

  8. Cool opening game scene for Orlando City today. Crowd of over 60K stuck around to the end even with the home squad down 2-0 late in stoppage time. And then Orlando scored two goals in less than a minute to manage a draw.

  11. Carson got shafted. Despite being insanely loyal to and subverting his own interests for the benefit of the Crawley family, he got put out to pasture at the onset of Parkinson's? I guess that's his punishment for refusing to adapt to modern times?
