How to play The Wire plot order game

Each card is a moment from The Wire, and the aim is to line them up in the order they happen in the story across all five seasons. The season is printed beneath each card. One moment begins on the line. Slot each new card before, after or between the cards already placed. A correct call reveals its place; a wrong one still moves the card into position but takes one of your three lives.

Every season shifts its focus to a new corner of Baltimore, from the towers to the docks, City Hall, the schools and the newspaper, while older threads keep running underneath. That makes it easy to mix up where a character's story sits within a season. Watch for people who leave the board for a while and then reappear, and think about which investigation the detail was working at the time. Rising and falling crews give strong clues too.
