How to play the Las Vegas Raiders history timeline

This deck follows the Raiders through their franchise moments, each with a short description beneath the headline, and you order them by year. A starting card is already on the line with its year visible. Each new card goes before, after or between the others. Right gaps reveal the year; wrong gaps still send the card to its real place and cost one of three lives.

The Raiders left their first home, came back and then left again, so the city in a description is a real clue. The deck is full of named games from famous rivalries, and those are the cards that trip people up, because the nicknames rarely hint at an era. A single owner's long influence runs through it, along with a series of coaching hires and returns.

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.
