How to play the Friends plot order game

Each card is a moment from Friends, and you are putting them back in the order they happen in the story over ten years in and around Central Perk. Beneath every card you will see the season it comes from. One moment starts on the line. Place each new card before, after or between the ones already down. A correct call shows where it sits; a wrong one moves the card to its proper place and takes one of your three lives.

Ross and Rachel's long back and forth is the obvious spine, but it doubles back so often that it can mislead you, so lean on the other threads as well: who lives in which apartment, who is dating whom, and whose job has changed. Weddings, babies and break-ups cluster near season finales. Thanksgiving and flashback episodes revisit earlier years, but every card here is a present-day event, so the season label is always a fair guide.
