How the Golden State Warriors history timeline works

This deck gathers Warriors milestones from the franchise's founding onward, and you order them by year. Every card shows the moment with a short description underneath. One card starts on the line, already dated. Place each new card in a gap; a correct pick reveals the year, while a wrong one moves the card to its rightful place and costs one of your three lives.

The Warriors moved across the country and changed names along the way, so details about place and opponents in the descriptions are worth noticing. There's a long quiet middle, but the deck gives most of its attention to the modern dynasty, where championships, records and big signings land very close together. Those recent cards are the hardest, and individual scoring feats from different eras are easy to confuse.

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.
