How the Quentin Tarantino film timeline works

Only the title appears on these Quentin Tarantino cards, and your job is to sort them by release year. One film is placed at the start with its year in view. Each new card goes before, after or between the films already on the line. A right placement reveals the year; a wrong one still puts the film where it belongs but costs one of three lives.

His feature list is famously short, so the deck fills out with an amateur project, anthology segments, guest-directing work and a combined cut of a two-part film. Those extras are what make it tricky, because several are tied to projects with other directors and sit close to his own releases. Expect the split film and its relatives to be the hardest cards to sort.
