Order by the year each player joined the Brooklyn Nets. 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.
Players from the Nets franchise make up the deck, sorted by the year each first joined. Every card carries a position under the name, sometimes a hybrid like forward and center. One player is on the line before you begin, with his year revealed. From there you place each card into the gap you believe is right. Nail it and the year turns up; miss it and the card still settles in its correct spot, minus one of your three lives.
Brooklyn is the latest stop for a club that started out in the ABA and spent a long stretch in New Jersey, so the deck crosses more than one identity. The New Jersey years hold the Finals teams and plenty of lean seasons, while the Brooklyn era is defined by blockbuster trades and quick turnover. Those trades are the hard part: big names who stayed only briefly are easy to place in the wrong era.
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.
