Order by the year each player joined the Philadelphia Phillies. 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.
Philadelphia Phillies players fill the deck, ordered by the year each one joined the club. You start with one player on the line and his year showing. Each new card gives a name and a position, maybe right fielder or starting pitcher, and you slide it into a gap. If you're right, the year is revealed. If you're wrong, he still moves to his correct place and you lose one of three lives.
Philadelphia has carried the Phillies name for nearly its whole history, and the oldest cards here come from the club's first seasons in the National League. A long, thin stretch follows in the early part of the deck before the cards pick up again. Left fielders appear more than usual. The most crowded part is the recent contending core, whose players arrived close together.
