How to play the Mad Men plot order game

Each card is a moment from Mad Men, and the goal is to put them back in the order they happen in the story across all seven seasons. The season is printed under each card. One moment starts on the line. Slot every new card before, after or between those already down. A good call reveals its place; a miss moves the card to the right spot and costs one of your three lives.

The show moves through the 1960s, and real news events mark many episodes, which can anchor a season if you remember the year. Inside a season, though, office politics, marriages and affairs blur together easily. Agencies change names, partners come and go, and people move between offices and coasts, so tracking who works where helps. Every card here comes from the show's present-day story, so cause and effect is your best guide. The final season is split into two halves, but both share one label.
