How the Minnesota Timberwolves history timeline works

Timberwolves moments fill this deck, each with a short description, and you put them in order by the year they happened. You'll see one card on the line to start, its year already showing. Each card after that needs a gap: before, after or between the ones placed. Right gaps reveal the year. Wrong gaps send the card to its true position and cost you one of three lives.

For a relatively young franchise, the Wolves have packed in a lot of roster churn: big trades, draft-night deals, coaching hires and stars coming and going. One franchise player's long tenure anchors a big part of the deck, and long playoff droughts make the good seasons stand out. The trade cards are the easiest to jumble, since the team has swapped key pieces many times.

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.
