How to play The Simpsons episode timeline game
Each card is a classic episode of The Simpsons, with a one-line hint about the plot printed under the title, and you put them in order by original air date. One episode is already on the timeline with its date showing. Read the next card, then drop it into the gap where you think it aired: before, between or after what's there. A correct guess reveals the air date. A wrong one still sends the episode to its true spot, but you lose one of your three lives.
Most of the deck comes from the show's celebrated early stretch, when nearly every week produced a line people still quote, so the dates pile up close together. A handful of later episodes reach much further out and stand apart. Guest stars and pop-culture targets in the hints are worth a second look. The catch is that Springfield never ages, so your memory of the stories, not the characters, has to do the work.
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.
