How to play the NBA career points game

Rank the NBA's all-time scorers by career points in this deck. Cards show only the player's name, apart from those still playing, which are marked active. One scorer starts on the line with his total showing. Place each new card in the gap where his points belong. A right call reveals the total; a wrong one still moves him to his real position and costs one of three lives.

The names at the top are well known, but the deck goes much deeper, into a long line of steady scorers whose totals sit close together. Active players are still adding to theirs. Durability is the hidden factor: someone who played many seasons can finish ahead of a more famous star whose career was short or interrupted.
