How to play the Dexter plot order game

Each card is a moment from the original eight seasons of Dexter, and the goal is to put them in the order they happen in the story, up to the season 8 finale. The season where each moment is shown is printed beneath the card, and a scene from Dexter's past carries a · flashback tag. One event starts on the line, and you place every new card before, after or between the ones already down. A good call reveals where it belongs; a miss still moves it there, but costs one of your three lives.

Most seasons follow one big villain, so the season label does a lot of work, but inside a season the order of kills, close calls and reveals is where mistakes pile up. A flashback card belongs where it falls in Dexter's life, not where it aired. Watch the people around him too: partners, love interests and colleagues come and go, and knowing who has already discovered his secret, or who has already died, is often the quickest way to place a card.
