How to play The Office plot order game

Every card is a moment from The Office, and the job is to rebuild the order they happen in the story, from the day the documentary crew arrives at Dunder Mifflin to the reunion after it airs. The season is printed under each card. One moment sits on the line when you start. Drop each new card before, after or between the moments already placed. Get it right and its position is confirmed; get it wrong and the card slides to its true spot while you lose one of your three lives.

The office romances are your best guide, since Jim and Pam, Michael's string of girlfriends and Dwight and Angela all move forward in clear steps. The bosses help too, because the manager's chair changes hands several times. The tricky stretches are the longer seasons, where a run of pranks, parties and sales calls sits under one label, and the later years, when characters leave, come back and swap jobs, so a familiar face is not always a clue.
