How to play the Saturday morning cartoons timeline game

Every card is a Saturday morning cartoon from American network television, with the network that first aired it printed below the title. Line them up by the year each series first aired. One show starts on the timeline with its year visible. Choose a gap for every new card. A correct pick reveals the year; a wrong one costs one of your three lives, and the show still moves to its real spot.

The deck covers the full life of the weekend cartoon block, from early superheroes and funny animals to toy, video game and comic book tie-ins and the last network lineups before cable took over. Studios often churned out spin-offs of their hits, so look for the original show behind each one. Characters who seem to have always been around can mislead you, since many of them starred in several different cartoon series over the years.

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.
