How to play the Chicago White Sox history timeline

Think of this deck as a White Sox scrapbook: each card is a franchise moment with a short description under the title, and you put them in order by the year they happened. Your starting card is already placed, year and all. You place every new card in a gap before, between or after the ones already down. A correct placement reveals the year; a wrong one still moves the card to its true spot but costs you one of three lives.

The South Siders go back to the American League's beginnings, and the deck takes in scandal, ballpark changes, award winners, promotional nights gone wrong and long gaps between pennants. Stadium cards are the sneaky ones, since the park has been built, rebuilt and renamed more than once. Read the description on each, because the same building can turn up under different names.

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.
