Order by the year each player joined the Green Bay Packers. 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.
A Packer is named on each card, and you're arranging them by the year he first joined Green Bay. Beneath the name is a position abbreviation. One player begins on the line with his year revealed. With each new card, pick the gap that fits. Pick right and the card stays with its year showing; pick wrong and it moves to its true place while costing you one of three lives.
Green Bay's small-town, fan-owned club reaches all the way back to the leather-helmet days, and the deck follows it through the dynasty years, a long dry spell and the run of star quarterbacks that kept it near the top. Receivers are the most common label, followed by running backs. The dry spell is the trouble zone, full of players few people remember.
