How to play the Green Bay Packers history timeline

Packers history is told through milestone cards in this deck, each with a brief description beneath its headline. Your job is to order them by year. The first card is placed for you with its year visible. For every new card, pick a gap; the right one reveals the year, and the wrong one sends the card to its true spot at the cost of one of three lives.

The Packers reach back further than nearly anyone else in the league, and this deck is heavy with championships from many different eras. Telling one title from another is the main problem, so use the opponents and stadiums mentioned in the descriptions. A community-owned franchise also has a few cards that have nothing to do with the field. Quarterback changes are the other trap.

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.
