Order by the year each player joined the Cleveland Guardians. You place all 52 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Cleveland Guardians players are the cards, ordered by the year each joined the franchise. A starting player is on the line with his year shown. Each card you draw gives a name and a position, anything from shortstop to designated hitter, and you pick a gap. Choose right and the year appears; choose wrong and he still slides into his true place and costs you one of three lives.
Cleveland's club has gone by several names, most recently trading its old nickname for Guardians, and the deck runs from its first American League season onward. The early part is crowded with the stars of the first teams, then the cards thin out for a long middle stretch before picking up again with the contending clubs. That thin middle is where guesses tend to drift.
