Order by the year each player joined the Los Angeles Dodgers. 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.
Dodgers players make up this deck, ordered by the year each one joined the franchise. You get one player on the line to start, his year showing. Each new card shows a name and a position like second baseman or catcher, and you decide where he goes among the players already placed. Choose the right gap and the year appears. Choose the wrong one and he still slides into place, costing you one of three lives.
Many of the early cards come from Brooklyn, long before the move to Los Angeles, and some reach all the way back to the club's earliest days under other nicknames. Those first Brooklyn eras are sparse, while the later Brooklyn teams and the Los Angeles years are much busier. If you're stuck, ask yourself whether a player ever called Ebbets Field home. Pitchers are the largest group.
