How to play the Minnesota Twins history timeline

You're ordering moments from the Twins franchise by the year they happened, and each card comes with a short description under its title. A single card is down to begin with, its year visible. As each new card is dealt, choose where it goes: before, between or after the cards already placed. Choose right and the year is revealed; choose wrong and the card still lands in its proper place while you lose one of three lives.

This franchise started out in the nation's capital, so the first part of the deck is set in Washington before the team ever reached Minnesota. After the move come division titles, championships, a domed stadium and a few lean spells. The descriptions are the key to the early cards, which name pennants and stars that many fans don't connect with the Twins at all.

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.
