How to play the Saw films timeline game

Every card is a Saw film, director printed under the title, and you arrange them by year of release. The opening card is placed for you with its year shown. Each turn you take the next film and choose where it slots among the others. If the gap is right, the year appears and the card stays; if it's wrong, the film moves to its true place and you're down one of your three lives. Ten correct placements in a row earn back a lost life, though never beyond three.

For a long stretch the franchise was a Halloween ritual, a new trap-filled sequel every autumn, which keeps the numbered films fairly orderly. The trouble starts once the titles stop counting, with spin-offs and side stories that don't carry a number at all. Some directors returned more than once, so a familiar name on the card isn't proof that two films came out close together.

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.
