Order the Planet of the Apes novel, films and TV series by year of release. You place all 13 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
This deck tracks Planet of the Apes from the printed page to the screen: the original novel, the films and the TV series. Under each title you'll find the director, a note on the book, or "TV series". One card starts on the timeline with its year shown. Every new card needs a home in one of the gaps. A good read shows the year; a bad one means the card still goes to its proper place and you're down a life, out of three.
A one-off remake, the television years, a modern reboot series and the original film cycle with its time-bending sequels all turn up. The titles reuse the same words, so the verb in front of "of the Planet of the Apes" matters more than anything. Two cards share a title, and the star or network in parentheses tells them apart. The TV cards are the ones people most often misplace.
Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
Here are 13 of the 13 cards you might be dealt. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
