How the Doctor Who episode timeline game works

Each card is a celebrated Doctor Who episode or story, with a one-line description under its title, and you put them in order of original broadcast. One card begins on the timeline, its air date showing. Every new card goes into whichever gap you choose among those already placed. Choose well and the date appears. Choose badly and the episode still moves to its real position, but one of your three lives is spent.

This deck stretches from the show's black-and-white beginnings to its current run. Only a few cards come from the classic years; most belong to the revived series, which is where the real crowding happens. The hints often mention a companion or a regeneration, and knowing which Doctor traveled with whom will carry you a long way. Stories about the same old monsters can come from any era.

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.
