How to play the Kansas City Royals roster timeline

Kansas City Royals players make up the deck, and you're ordering them by the year each joined the club. One player begins on the timeline with his year visible. Every new card shows a name and a position like center fielder or relief pitcher, and you place it in a gap. If it's right, the year is shown. If it's wrong, he still moves to his correct spot, and you lose one of three lives.

Kansas City got the Royals as an expansion team after the Athletics left town, and the deck starts with the first rosters. The early contenders and the recent championship core are the two busiest stretches, with quieter years between. Starters and relievers together take up a big part of the deck. Homegrown players who came up together are especially hard to separate.

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.
