Order by the year each player joined the Memphis Grizzlies. 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.
Grizzlies are the cards, and you'll sort them by the year each first joined the franchise. Every card shows the player's position under his name. The game starts you with one player on the line, year revealed. Take each new card and place it in the gap you think fits. A good placement shows the year. A bad one still slides the player to his true spot but costs one of your three lives.
The franchise began in Vancouver as an expansion team before moving to Memphis, so the first cards come from Canada. In Memphis it found an identity in tough, defensive grit-and-grind teams, then rebuilt around a younger, faster core. Point guards and shooting guards make up the biggest share of the labels, so memory will do more work than the position line. The short Vancouver spell and the depth players from the rebuild are where things get crowded.
