Order by the year each player joined the Atlanta Hawks. You place all 52 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Your job with this deck is to order Hawks by the year they first joined the club. A card shows the player's name with his position printed underneath. One Hawk already sits on the timeline, his year on display. Choose a gap for each new card: earlier, later or somewhere between. Correct placements keep the card there and show the year; wrong ones still land it in the right spot but take away one of three lives.
Long before Atlanta, the franchise played in Milwaukee and St. Louis, and the earliest cards come from those stops. After that the deck works through the high-flying dunk era, a run of steady playoff teams, lean rebuilding seasons and the recent young core. Centers, point guards and shooting guards appear in roughly equal numbers, so the label won't decide much. The forgettable middle years cause the most misplaced cards.
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 28 of the 52 cards you might be dealt, with 24 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
