How the Monster Hunter timeline game works

Each card is a main Monster Hunter game or major expansion, and you sort them by the year each first released in Japan. Only the title is printed, often shortened. One game sits on the timeline from the start, year and all. Put each new card in a gap. A right guess reveals the year, and a wrong one still sends it to its true place and costs one of three lives.

Expansions follow their base games closely, so pairing them up is a good first step. The series spent a long stretch on handhelds and Nintendo hardware before going global on home consoles and PC. Short single-word titles hide which generation a game belongs to. Japanese launches often came well before the Western ones, so go by the earliest release you can remember.

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.
