How the Rugby World Cup finals timeline works
Both the men's and the women's Rugby World Cup feed this deck: each card is a final, listed as winner over runner-up, with the stadium printed underneath. You're putting the finals in order by year. One is already down when the game opens. Every turn you choose a gap for the next final. If it's the right one, the year shows up next to it; if not, the card still lands in its proper place and you lose one of three lives.
Women's finals are labeled, and the two competitions run side by side rather than in neat alternation. A handful of nations dominate, so the same pairings recur, and where they do, a captain or host city in the title separates them. The venue is the key clue: remember which country hosted each tournament and the order mostly follows. Repeat meetings between the same two sides are the hardest to separate.
Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
