How the Sonic games timeline game works
These cards are Sonic games: the classic side-scrollers, the 3D adventures, racers, party games, handheld outings and mobile runners. Your job is to order them by first release year, with the developer printed under every title. One game opens on the timeline with its year in view. Drop each new card into a gap. A right answer reveals its year, and a wrong one shifts it to its real place and costs you one of three lives.
The hedgehog has been running since the Mega Drive days, through the Dreamcast leap into three dimensions, the Wii experiments and a retro revival. Handheld and spin-off releases cluster tightly around the big console games, and those are where runs fall apart. Sonic Team shows up again and again, but the outside studios, including a few Western developers, can steer you. Games that look retro aren't always old.
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.
