How to play the Detroit Tigers history game

What you're ordering here is a set of Tigers milestones, each with a short description beneath its title, sorted by the year they happened. The first card is on the timeline already, its year showing. Each card after that goes into a gap among those placed. When you guess right, its year is revealed. When you miss, the card goes to its real place anyway, but it takes one of three lives.

Detroit's deck stretches from the dead-ball days to the modern game, with batting titles, pennants and championships spaced out across the eras. The same kinds of honors, batting crowns, MVPs and Triple Crowns, turn up in very different periods, so the description and the name in it really matter. The worst seasons are memorable too, so not every card here is a high point.

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.
