Order these Metal Gear games by release year. You place all 26 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
These cards are Metal Gear games: the main stealth series, handheld side stories, card-based tactics, spin-offs, remakes and collections. Order them by release year. A short description sits under each title, naming the hero, the setting or the platform. One game starts on the timeline with its year in view. Place each new card into a gap; a right call shows the year, a wrong one still sends the game to its real place and takes one of your three lives.
The saga hops back and forth in its own story, so a Cold War setting tells you nothing about when a game came out. Platform mentions in the descriptions are much more reliable. Ports, remasters and collections can sit far from the originals they bring back, and a remake can look like it belongs beside the game it remakes. The handheld and mobile side projects are the hardest to place.
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 26 of the 26 cards you might be dealt. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
