Order by the year each Jurassic Park or Jurassic World film was released or each series premiered. You place all 12 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Dinosaurs run loose across this deck: the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films alongside the animated series, a TV special and a short. Under each title is the director, or a note saying what kind of release it is. You open with one card on the timeline, year shown, and slot each new card into the gap where you think it fits. A correct choice uncovers its year. An incorrect one still parks the card in its true place, but it costs you one of your three lives.
The original trilogy and the newer films sit apart, with a long quiet stretch in between, so the first job is deciding which side of that gap a card belongs on. After that the deck gets crowded, because the animated shows and short-form releases arrived between the big films. The release-type note is a useful label, not a date. The Lego tie-ins are the cards that most often end up in the wrong spot.
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 12 of the 12 cards you might be dealt. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
