How the Rafael Nadal career timeline game works

Rafael Nadal's career is told here one moment at a time: majors, rivalries, injuries and a farewell. A short hint under each card names the opponent or the occasion. You sort the moments by year. One moment starts on the timeline with its year in view. Place each new card into a gap; get it right and the year is shown, get it wrong and the card moves to its true spot while costing one of three lives.

Clay titles dominate the deck, and since so many of them came in Paris, the hint about the opponent or the score is what separates them. Grass and hard-court titles break things up, as do the injury layoffs between some of his biggest wins. Counting helps: a card that mentions a record total tells you roughly how far along he was.

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.
