Order the FX original series by the year each first aired. You place all 45 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
Every card is an FX original series, and you put them in order by the year each premiered. No subtitle is printed, so the title is all you have. One show starts on the line with its year revealed. Each new card goes into the gap you choose, before, after or between the shows already down. Choose well and the year appears. Choose badly and the show still lands where it belongs, but you lose a life, and you only have three.
FX built its name on gritty cable dramas and went on to anthologies, spiky comedies and big-budget limited series. Several anthology brands appear here, and they can start well before the season you remember. Comedies are the hardest cards in the deck: many ran quietly for years, so their start dates are easy to misjudge.
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 28 of the 45 cards you might be dealt, with 17 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
