How the Milwaukee Bucks milestones timeline works

Each card in the Bucks deck is a franchise milestone, described in a sentence under its headline, and you have to sort them by year. A starting card sits on the line with its year shown. From there, every new card goes into a gap you choose. If it belongs there, the year appears; if it doesn't, it shifts to its proper slot and you're down one of three lives.

The Bucks won a title quickly and then waited a very long time to win another, so most of this deck lives in the space between. That middle stretch is full of solid playoff teams, coaching changes, arena moves and draft picks, and it's easy to lose track of which came first. Individual award cards can bunch up tightly too, so read each description for the teammates and coaches it mentions.

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.
