How to play the Baltimore Orioles history timeline

These cards cover the franchise that became the Orioles, with each moment summed up in a short line under its title. Arrange them by the year they happened. One moment sits on the timeline from the start, showing its year. For each card you're dealt, choose a gap among those already placed; get it right and the year is shown, get it wrong and the card moves to its true spot while you lose one of three lives.

Before Baltimore, this franchise had a long and mostly forgettable run in other cities, and the deck gives it a few cards. Once the team moves, the pace picks up with pennants, championships and one iron-man career that accounts for several cards on its own. Those streak cards are the ones to slow down on, since they sit close together and sound 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.
