How to play the blind tier list

Pick a theme and a ranking size, then start the game. Cards drop one at a time: for each one, you choose a free rank. Once a card is placed, it stays there.

You never know which card is coming next. Put a great card too high and you may have no room for the next one: that’s the whole twist of a blind ranking, also called a blind tier list.

  • Swap: don’t like a card? Replace it with one from the bonus pile, hidden as well.
  • Flip: once every card is placed, you can switch the spots of two cards to fix a mistake.
  • Top 10: 3 swaps and 1 flip
  • Top 20: 6 swaps and 2 flips
  • Top 50: 15 swaps and 5 flips

Frequently asked questions

Who is the most powerful superhero?

Superman on the DC side and cosmic characters like Galactus, Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet or Doctor Manhattan from Watchmen usually top the lists. Their power changes a lot from one writer and era to the next, hence the endless Marvel vs DC debates.

What is a tier list?

A tier list is a ranking in tiers, from best to worst. Tiers are usually lettered: S for the elite, then A, B, C and D.

How do you make a tier list?

With a regular tier list maker, you drag pictures into tiers freely. On BlindTier, you pick a theme and a Top 10, 20 or 50, then place the cards one by one without knowing which one comes next. It’s free and needs no sign-up.

What is a blind ranking?

A blind ranking is a game where you rank items without seeing the rest of the list. Each item is revealed one at a time and has to get a final spot, so you make every choice without knowing what comes next.

How is it different from a tier list?

In a tier list, you see every item before sorting them into tiers. In a blind ranking, items are revealed one by one and every spot is final: you have to bet on what’s coming.
