How to play the Los Angeles Rams history timeline

Rams milestones make up this deck, each with a short description, and you need to order them by year. A starting card is placed with its year in view. Every new card goes before, after or between the cards already down. Pick correctly and the year appears; pick wrong and it lands in the right spot anyway, costing you one of three lives.

The Rams have called several cities home, and the deck follows every move, so watch for place names in the descriptions. Famous defenses, record rushing and receiving games and Super Bowl trips are spread across those eras. The trades are the hardest cards, because some of the franchise's biggest swaps happened long before the modern game, and they read like recent headlines.

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.
