How the Baltimore Ravens history timeline works

Each card is a Ravens milestone with a short description beneath it, and you order the deck by the year each moment happened. A single card begins on the line with its year shown. Place each new one into a gap you choose. A right answer reveals the year; a wrong answer moves the card to its correct spot and costs one of three lives.

The Ravens are a relatively young franchise, so every card falls in a fairly tight window and seasons sit right next to each other. The team's identity has long rested on defense and the running game, and many cards celebrate defensive records, long kicks and big plays rather than titles. Those are the hardest to order. The descriptions sometimes point to the head coach or quarterback, which narrows things down.

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.
