How to play the Second Sino-Japanese War timeline game

Second Sino-Japanese War is a free timeline game you can play right in your browser, with no sign-up and nothing to install. Every card hides a value on the same scale, exact air dates, so the whole run is really one big sorting puzzle. The first card comes up face up. After that you slot each new card into the spot where you think it belongs, and its value only shows once it lands. Guess wrong three times and the run ends with whatever you had down.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in exact air dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
