How to play the Cleveland Cavaliers roster timeline

Every Cavalier on these cards needs a place on the timeline, set by the year he first joined Cleveland. Each card prints his position below the name. The game starts you off with one player already down, year included. Each card dealt after that goes into a gap of your choosing. When you're right, the year appears. When you're not, he moves to his true position regardless and you give up one of three lives.

Cleveland began as an expansion team, and the deck follows it from those early struggles through the playoff teams that came later, the title run and the swings between contending and rebuilding. It gets crowded wherever the front office reshuffled the roster around a star, since a lot of players arrived at once. Point guard is the most common label. Former stars who came for a short final chapter are the most likely to catch you out.

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.
