How the game sales ranking game works

Every card is a well-known video game with its publisher listed under the title, and you rank them by copies sold, in millions, fewest first. One game opens the line with its sales showing. Put each new card into the gap where you think it fits. If you're right, its total shows up. If you're wrong, it still slides into its true position, and you lose one of your three lives along the way.

Reputation is a poor guide in this deck, since some of the most admired games ever made barely sold when they came out, while others kept selling for more than a decade. Platform matters a lot, and so does how many years a game has had on the market. Something released on one console has a much harder climb than something available everywhere. Numbers are widely reported totals, and publishers don't always share them, so treat the small ones as close estimates.
