How the Metroid story timeline game works

These cards are Metroid games, ordered by Samus's own chronology rather than by release. Under each title is the planet or place where the game happens. One game starts on the line with its place in the story showing. Slot each new card into a gap. When you're right, its position in the order is revealed; when you're wrong, it still goes where it belongs and you lose one of three lives.

Release order is a poor guide, because the series filled gaps in Samus's history long after the fact. A planet that shows up on more than one card hosts different missions, so the same place doesn't mean the same moment. Later adventures tend to follow straight on from one another, and remembering what set each one off is the surest way through.
