How the Australian Open men's champions timeline works

You're ordering Australian Open men's champions by the year each first won the title. A short description under every name gives the player's nationality and a hint about his style or record. One champion starts on the timeline with the year visible. For each new card, choose a gap among those already placed. Nail the gap and the year is revealed; get it wrong and the player still lands in the correct place but costs one of three lives.

The deck spans the amateur days and the Open era, with plenty of Australians and a steady stream of Europeans and Americans. Players who won it several times appear only for their first title. The description is the best clue: a hint about a record or a playing style points you somewhere, while a plain nationality label gives you much less to work with.

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.
