Order by the year each player joined the Los Angeles Chargers. 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.
Chargers from every era of the club are on these cards, and you order them by the year each first joined. The position is printed below each name as an abbreviation. You begin with one player on the timeline, his year visible. For each new card, choose a gap. If you're right, the year shows and the card stays; if you're wrong, he moves to his real spot and costs you one of three lives.
The Chargers played their first AFL season in Los Angeles, then spent most of their history in San Diego before returning. The deck covers the AFL powerhouse, the high-flying passing teams, the star-filled San Diego rosters and the return. Running backs and receivers lead the labels, with defensive ends next. The stretches between the famous offenses are where it gets hard.
