How to play The Office episode timeline game

Every card is a classic episode of The Office, with a one-line hint about the plot, and you arrange them by the date they first aired. You start with one episode on the timeline, air date in view. Each new card goes into the gap you pick, earlier or later than what's already there. A right answer reveals the date. A wrong one still sends the episode to its real spot, and you lose one of your three lives.

Most cards come from the show's peak years, so the middle of the deck is packed tight. The office romance is the most useful clock: ask where things stood between the salesman and the receptionist when the episode aired. Who is running the branch, and who has just arrived, also helps. Holiday and party episodes come back every year, and their hints can be hard to tell apart.

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.
