How the Marvel films timeline game works
Each card is a Marvel Studios film, with its director printed under the title, and you put them in order by year of theatrical release. You begin with one film on the timeline and its year in view. For each new card, pick the gap where you think it landed among the films already placed. A correct pick reveals the year. A wrong one still slots the film into its true place but costs one of three lives.
Sequel numbers do some of the work, and the big team-up films act as tentpoles you can build around. The tricky part is the crowded stretches, when several releases landed close together and solo adventures for different heroes are hard to separate. Directors who returned for more than one film can link cards, but their work is spread across the saga.
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.
