How to play the mainline Final Fantasy timeline

Each card is one of the numbered Final Fantasy games, and you sort them by the year each first came out. There's nothing printed under the titles. One game begins on the timeline with its year in view. Place each new card in a gap. A correct guess shows the year; a wrong one still moves the game to its true place and costs you one of three lives.

Only the main numbered games are here, with no spin-offs, sequels or remakes. The numerals follow the original Japanese releases, so forget the renumbered versions some early Western players knew. The series stretches from the cartridge era to the current console generation, and the long waits between later entries feel very different from the rapid pace of the early ones. A couple of entries are online worlds rather than single-player adventures.

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.
