How to play the Parks and Recreation plot order game

Each card is a moment from Parks and Recreation, and the goal is to rebuild the order they happen in the story, from Leslie's promise to fill in a pit to the far future. The finale's glimpses of the years ahead are marked Flash-forward, and every other card is part of the main story in Pawnee. One card starts on the line. Slot each new card before, after or between the cards already down. A good call reveals its place; a bad one still moves the card to its proper spot, but costs one of your three lives.

Pawnee keeps its people busy, so a single season can hold a campaign, a wedding and a new job, and those events crowd together fast. Watch for the jump to 2017 in the last season, which puts years of change between two neighboring seasons. The flash-forward cards come after everything set in 2017 and stretch out decades, so their order depends on how far ahead each one looks. Tracking where Leslie works and who is still in town helps more than you might think.
