Order these Washington Nationals franchise moments by the year they happened. You place all 24 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
These cards cover the franchise from its first season in Montreal onward, each with a short description below its title. You order the moments by the year they happened. One card begins on the timeline with its year visible. For each new card, pick a gap before, between or after the ones already down. A right answer reveals the year, and a wrong answer moves the card to its true place while taking one of your three lives.
Much of this deck happens in Canada, when the franchise was the Expos, and those years bring heartbreak, near misses and a slow fade. After the move south, the cards come almost every season: top draft picks, debuts, division titles and a championship. The division crowns are the hard part, since several came in a short window and the descriptions are your main clue.
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.
Here are 24 of the 24 cards you might be dealt. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
