How to play the Women's World Cup and Olympic finals timeline

This deck pairs two tournaments: every card is a final from the Women's World Cup or the Olympic women's football tournament, written as winner over runner-up. The stadium and city are printed under the result. Your job is to order the finals by the year they were played, starting from one already set down. Place each new card in a gap; if it fits, its year is revealed, and if it doesn't, the final moves to its real spot and one of your three lives goes with it.

It's a short deck, so every placement matters, and the two competitions interleave rather than taking neat turns. The same nations meet again and again, which means the matchup alone is rarely enough. The venue is your best tool: if you remember which country hosted which tournament, most cards fall into place. Olympic finals are labeled, and a few repeat pairings carry the host city in the title as well.

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.
