Tidy the Library: Books that Became Movies Edition

Every book in this deck became a movie. Now sort them by publication date.

Fight Club or Forrest Gump? Dune or Jurassic Park? Bridget Jones or Breakfast at Tiffany's? All of them were books before they were blockbusters — and your job is to get them back on the shelf in order of publication date. Your movie knowledge won't save you here. Your reading knowledge might.

Be warned: the game gets harder as the shelf fills up. And watch out for those Library Cards — from library fines to unsolicited book swaps, life in the library is never entirely peaceful.

Accidentally educational. Genuinely infuriating. Can be modified for younger players or those newer to their literary knowledge — inclusive for every level of book nerd at the table.
