How to play the Houston Astros history game

Here you're sorting Astros milestones by the year they happened. Every card has a short caption under its title, covering ballparks, division crowns, debuts, trades and championships. One card is already down on the timeline with its year shown. Each new card goes into the gap you choose; the right gap reveals its year, and the wrong gap moves it to its real place and takes one of three lives.

Houston's history has two different lives: a long stretch in the National League with plenty of division titles but little October luck, and a later run as an American League powerhouse. The second half of the deck is crowded, with pennants and deep playoff runs nearly every season, so small clues in each caption matter. Remember that a team can win its division without winning anything else.

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.
