Order the A Nightmare on Elm Street films and TV series by year of release. You place all 10 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
The cards here are Freddy Krueger's films and his TV anthology, and you order them by year of release. Each shows the director's name under the title, or "TV series" for the small-screen card. One card begins on the timeline with its year in place. Then it's your call: put every new card in the gap where you think it belongs. Slot it correctly and the year is yours; a wrong slot moves the card where it should be and costs you a life, and you only have three.
The sequels arrived close together, so the numbered films are far easier than the ones that carry only a subtitle. Watch for cards that share a name, where the actor in parentheses tells you which version you're holding. The self-aware entry and the crossover are the cards people most often place too early or too late. The small-screen card is easy to forget about until it lands somewhere awkward.
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 10 of the 10 cards you might be dealt. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
