How the San Diego Padres roster timeline game works

San Diego Padres players are sorted here by the year each one joined the club. You begin with one player on the line, his year in view. Every card that follows gives a name and a position like first baseman or shortstop, and you place it in the gap you think is right. Get it right and the year is shown. Get it wrong and he still slides to his true spot, but one of your three lives is gone.

The Padres began as an expansion club, and the early cards are a mix of the franchise's first stars and players from some very lean seasons. The middle of the deck, through the club's pennant runs, is the most crowded part. Shortstops and first basemen show up more than you might expect. Players who spent only a short spell in San Diego are the hardest to place.

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.
