How to play the St. Louis Cardinals history timeline game

The Cardinals deck holds twenty-seven moments from the franchise, each with a brief description under the title, and you sort them by the year they happened. One milestone starts on the timeline with its year showing. Each new card goes into a gap among the ones already placed. If you place it correctly, the year is revealed. If you don't, the card still lands in its true spot, and you lose one of your three lives.

St. Louis has won a lot of World Series, and this deck is full of them, spread across almost every era of the game, along with records, milestone hits and a pair of downtown ballparks. With so many titles, the descriptions are essential: the nicknames, stars and opponents they mention are often the only way to tell one championship from another. Records that were later broken can feel more recent than they are.

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.
