How the World Cup finals timeline game works
This deck gathers World Cup finals, written as winner over runner-up, with a note underneath about the venue or the story of the match. Order the finals by the year they were played. One final starts on the timeline with its year visible. Place each new card in a gap before, between or after the others. A right answer shows the year, and a wrong one sends the final to its true spot for the cost of one of three lives.
Men's and women's finals are mixed together, so you need to keep two tournaments' histories straight at once. Some nations reach final after final, and repeat pairings can only be separated by the note under the title. Host cities and star players in those notes are your best anchors; finals that just name a stadium take more thought.
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.
