Block order avoids listing 48 seasons one by one while keeping rule growth clear. Early years teach torch and jury basics. Middle years add idols and tribe swaps. The 30s add edge and fire finale. New era shortens days to 26 and adds shot in the dark. Start with seasons 1 to 8 to learn council math before idol heavy years. Winners return only in All Stars and Winners at War.
