Order by the year each player joined the Los Angeles Clippers. 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.
The Clippers franchise supplies every card, and you order the players by the year each first joined it. All of them show a position beneath the name. Your timeline starts with one player down and his year visible. Each new card goes into whichever gap you pick. Pick right to reveal the year; pick wrong and he lands in his true position anyway, taking one of your three lives.
The earliest cards come from the franchise's days as the Buffalo Braves, followed by a stint in San Diego before the move to Los Angeles. For years the club was an afterthought in its own city, and those lean seasons fill much of the middle. Then come the high-flying lob era and the star-chasing rosters of recent years. Big names who arrived late are easy to place too early.
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.
