How to play the Death Note plot order game

Each card is a moment from the Death Note anime, and the aim is to put them in the order they happen in the story across its 37 episodes. There are no seasons, so each card carries the story arc it falls in: Kira vs. L for the duel between Light and the great detective, and Near and Mello for the chapter that follows. One moment sits on the line to begin. Slot each new card before, after or between the others. A right answer reveals its place; a wrong one still moves it there, at the cost of one of your three lives.

The story runs in a straight line, so the order of the story and the order of the episodes match, but the first arc is far longer than the second and most cards share a label. Light's schemes stack layer upon layer, with notebooks changing hands, memories lost and regained, and more than one Kira active at once. It helps to track who owns which notebook and who suspects Light at each point. In the second arc a time skip resets the board, and new players arrive with very different methods, so lean on who is still alive.
