How to play the Detroit Tigers roster timeline

Detroit Tigers players fill these cards, and the order is the year each one joined the club. A starting player is on the line with his year revealed. Each new card shows a name and a position, often starting pitcher but sometimes shortstop or left fielder, and you choose where he goes. A correct gap shows the year; a wrong one still lands him in his true place and costs you one of three lives.

Detroit has been in the American League since its first season, and the deck reaches back to the club's early stars. Starting pitchers make up the biggest group by a wide margin. Cards are spread across the whole history with few big clusters, so you have to judge each one on its own. Long careers in Detroit are the main hazard, because Tigers greats often arrived young and stayed for ages.

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.
