How to play the Dallas Cowboys roster timeline

Picture the Cowboys' roster history laid end to end, then put it back in order of arrival. Each card is a Dallas player with a position abbreviation underneath, and he belongs at the year he first joined the team. One player is on the line before you begin, year in view. Place each new card into a gap. A right call reveals the year; a wrong one moves him to his real place and costs one of three lives.

Dallas started as an expansion team and built a reputation fast, so the deck goes from those first seasons through the Doomsday defenses, the dynasty that followed a long rebuild and the many seasons since. Cornerbacks lead the labels, with receivers next. The dynasty eras are easy to recall; the long years in between, full of solid starters, are where you'll lose lives.

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.
