Order by the year each movie premiered on Hallmark Channel. You place all 30 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
These cards are Hallmark Channel holiday movies, each with its leading cast printed under the title, and the aim is to sort them by the year they premiered. One movie is already sitting on the timeline, year in view. Read the next card, check who's starring, then choose a gap for it among the movies already down. Guess well and the premiere year shows up beside it. Guess badly and the movie still settles into its real place while you lose one of your three lives. String ten good placements together and a lost life comes back, up to the full three.
The deck follows the channel's holiday slate from its modest made-for-TV beginnings to the glossy, crowded seasons when new premieres arrived nearly every weekend. Royal romances, snowed-in inns and celebrity tie-ins keep repeating, so the plot alone rarely settles anything. The cast list is the best clue on the card: certain stars turn up again and again, and knowing where they were in their run with the channel helps. Veterans of film and sitcom fame tend to throw people off.
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.
Here are 28 of the 30 cards you might be dealt, with 2 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
