How to play the Arizona Diamondbacks history timeline

The Diamondbacks deck covers the franchise from the day it was awarded, with each card describing a milestone in a short line under its title. You sort them by year. One card is placed on the timeline first, with its year visible. As each card comes up, choose the gap where it fits. Guess right, and the year is revealed. Guess wrong, and the card still goes to its true spot, taking one of your three lives with it.

Arizona's history is short, and the early cards come thick and fast for an expansion team built to win right away. Pitching dominates the first part of the deck, with award seasons and records from the same few arms, and those are hard to put in order. Later the cards turn to hires, trades and big contracts, which sit close together and look a lot alike.

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.
