How to play The Last of Us plot order game

Each card is a moment from HBO's The Last of Us, and the goal is to rebuild the order they happen in the story, from a 1968 talk show warning about fungus to Ellie's hunt for Abby in Seattle. A scene the show tells out of order is marked Flashback. One card starts on the line. Slot each new card before, after or between the ones 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.

The flashback cards are the main trap. They stretch from the 1960s through the night of the 2003 outbreak and on to the years Ellie and Joel spend in Jackson, and each belongs where it falls in the timeline, not in the season that aired it. Several of them land in the five year gap between the two seasons. Keep the years in mind: 2003 for the outbreak, 2023 for the trip west, and 2028 for Jackson and Seattle.
