Order by the year each player joined the Carolina Panthers. 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.
This is the Panthers' roster in card form, ordered by the year each player first joined Carolina. Almost every card shows a position abbreviation such as RB or LB. One player begins on the timeline with his year revealed. You choose a gap for each card that follows. A correct gap reveals the year and keeps the card; a wrong one moves it to its true position and costs one of your three lives.
Carolina is an expansion club, so every card sits in the modern NFL. The franchise had early success, then swung between Super Bowl runs and rebuilds, with plenty of turnover along the way. Running backs show up more than any other position. With arrivals so tightly packed, players who joined around the same time are the hardest to split.
