Order by the year each player joined the Utah Jazz. 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.
Jazz players are on every card, and the timeline sorts them by the year each joined the club. Each card lists his position as well, from point guard to center. To start, one player is set down with his year showing. You draw the rest one by one and choose a gap for each. Choose correctly and his year appears; choose wrong and he goes to his true spot while you lose one of three lives.
The name makes more sense once you know the franchise began in New Orleans, and the first cards come from there. In Utah, the club became known for a long, stable era built around a pick-and-roll partnership, followed by reshuffles and rebuilds. That stability is the trap: a core that stayed together meant few arrivals for a long while, and the gaps between them are easy to misjudge. The newest cards come thick and fast.
