Order the Child's Play films and TV series by year of release. You place all 9 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Every card belongs to the killer-doll franchise: films plus a TV series, each with its director printed below the title, while the series card simply says what it is. Your job is to put them in order of release. One card starts on the line with its year showing. For each new one, pick a gap among the cards placed so far. Right, and its year appears. Wrong, and it still moves into its proper position, costing you one of your three lives.
Over its run the franchise changed its tone more than once, swinging into horror comedy and then back toward something nastier. One name repeats across several cards, so the director line narrows things down without settling the order. Two cards share the original title, and the actor in parentheses is what separates them. The rhyming titles all look alike, and that is where most guesses slip.
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 9 of the 9 cards you might be dealt. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
