Order by the year each player joined the New York Yankees. 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.
Yankees players fill this deck, and you're sorting them by the year each one joined the club. One player is already on the timeline with his year showing. Every card you're dealt shows a name and a position, such as starting pitcher or center fielder, and you choose the gap he fits. If you're right, the year is revealed. If you're wrong, he still lands in his real spot, and one of your three lives is gone.
The deck opens before the team was known as the Yankees, back in its Highlanders days, and runs through every dynasty since. Pitchers outnumber everyone else, with starters and relievers both well represented. Because the club was always bringing in stars from other teams, many famous names joined later in their careers than you'd expect. Teammates from the same great lineups are the hardest pairs to split.
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.
