Try experimenting with players starting with a different number of cards.If no one has placed all their cards correctly by the time the pick-up pile runs out, the person with the least cards left in their hand wins.
The first player to get rid of all of their cards by placing them correctly wins. If it was placed incorrectly, it is placed in the correct order, but the person who played it must take another card. If the card was placed in correct chronological order, the card stays in place and the next person has their turn. After placing the card, the player turns the card face up, showing the date.

Take the next card from the deck and turn it “face up” (date showing).
