Order by the year each player joined the Miami Dolphins. 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.
Dolphins are dealt one at a time, and your timeline ranks them by the year each player first joined Miami. All of them print a position abbreviation. One player is already down at the start, his year showing. Decide where each new card goes and place it in that gap. Correct placements reveal the year; incorrect ones send the player to his true spot and cost one of three lives.
Miami began in the AFL as an expansion team and rose quickly to the top, including an unbeaten season that still stands out. Afterward came a passing-heavy era, years of solid but unspectacular teams and the recent push with a faster offense. Receivers top the labels, and running backs and defensive ends are well represented too. The long run of near-misses holds the toughest cards.
