Order by the year each player joined the Sacramento Kings. 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.
In this deck you sort Kings players by the year each one joined the franchise. Every card lists a position under the name. A single player is placed for you at the start, year visible. Read each card that follows and set it in the gap where he fits. Right placements reveal the year. Wrong ones cost one of three lives, though the player still moves to the place he belongs.
Sacramento is only the latest home for one of the league's oldest clubs, which began as the Royals in Rochester and later played in Cincinnati and Kansas City. The earliest cards belong to those days, so the franchise reaches much further back than its current city suggests. Later, a celebrated run of slick-passing playoff teams stands out among long rebuilding stretches, and the anonymous seasons in between are where most mistakes happen.
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.
