How to play the Detroit Lions roster timeline game

Lions players are spread across these cards, and your timeline orders them by the year each joined the franchise. Under each name sits his position, abbreviated. You start with one player in place and his year visible. As each new card arrives, decide which gap it belongs in. Get it right and the year is revealed; get it wrong and the card moves to its true spot, taking one of your three lives.

Before Detroit, the franchise was the Portsmouth Spartans in Ohio, and the oldest cards come from that time. The deck then runs through the club's early championship teams, a very long stretch of hard seasons and the recent resurgence. Receivers and running backs share the lead among the labels, with quarterbacks next. The long lean stretch is where runs go wrong, because so many players passed through.

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.
