How the Los Angeles Dodgers history timeline works

Every card is a moment in Dodgers history, from the Brooklyn days to the present, with a brief description under each title. Sort them by the year they happened. One moment is on the timeline when you start, its year showing. Each new card goes in the gap you choose. Right picks reveal the year. Wrong picks still put the card in its correct place but cost you one of three lives.

The Dodgers' story covers two cities and some of baseball's most important moments, and the deck spends real time in both. World Series cards are everywhere, including a long list of meetings with one familiar rival, which are tough to tell apart. The descriptions point to the stars and fan crazes of each era, often your best clue. Big signings are spread out more than you'd think.

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.
