How to play the Oklahoma City Thunder history timeline

This is a smaller deck of Thunder franchise moments, each with a sentence of description, sorted by the year they happened. One card is set down first with its year in view. You place every card after it into a gap. Get the gap right and the year is revealed; get it wrong and the card still goes to its real place, but you lose one of your three lives.

The franchise had a whole life in another city before it became the Thunder, and the deck includes championships and stars from that time. The descriptions tell you which city you're in, which narrows things down a lot. Once the team settles in Oklahoma, the cards come thick and fast: draft picks, MVP seasons and departures that happened close together. Separating those is where runs usually end.

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.
