How to play the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode timeline

Each card is a celebrated Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, with a one-line hint printed beneath the title, and you place them in order of original air date. One episode starts on the timeline, date showing. Read the next card, then put it in the gap where you think it belongs. Nail it and the date appears. A wrong one still sends it to its correct spot but costs one of three lives.

The show grows up with its heroine, moving from high school to college and on into adult life, so the setting in a hint can carry you a long way. Each season has its own big villain, and knowing who the gang was fighting at the time helps too. Standalone monster-of-the-week episodes are the trickiest, because they rarely say where in the story they fall.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in exact air dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
