Order by the year each player joined the Washington Nationals. You place all 48 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
This deck orders Nationals players by the year each one joined the club. One player sits on the line at the start, his year showing. Each new card gives you a name and a position, from center fielder to relief pitcher, and you decide which gap fits. Get it right and the year appears. Get it wrong and he still drops into his true spot, costing you one of three lives.
The whole deck belongs to one franchise in two cities: it opens with the expansion Expos in Montreal and moves on to Washington, where the recent contenders come in. The Montreal stretch is the biggest part of the deck. Players who started in Montreal count from their Expos debut, not from their time in Washington.
