How to play the Boston Celtics roster timeline

Think of this as a Celtics roll call put in order of arrival. A card shows a player's name, usually with his position, and he belongs on the timeline at the year he first joined Boston. You begin with one player set down and his year visible. Choose a gap for each new name: before, between or after the ones already down. A correct choice reveals the year; a wrong one costs one of three lives, though the player still ends up where he really belongs.

Few franchises have this much history to sort, and the deck covers it from the early dynasty through the later revivals on the parquet to the modern core. A lot of cards say point guard, which won't separate much on its own. Expect trouble around the eras built on trios of stars, when key players arrived in quick succession. Bench pieces from the title teams are the cards that most often land in the wrong spot.

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.
