How to play the New England Patriots roster timeline

Patriots players fill the deck, and you'll order them by the year each one joined the team. Every card carries a position abbreviation such as WR or CB. One player opens the timeline with his year showing. For each new card, decide which gap fits his arrival. Get it right to reveal the year; get it wrong and he still lands in his true spot, but you're down one of three lives.

Boston, not New England, came first: the club began as the Boston Patriots in the old AFL, and the early cards come from that league. After that comes a long stretch of mostly modest seasons, then the dynasty that changed the club's reputation for good. The dynasty is where it gets crowded, with a steady stream of signings and draft picks. Defenders with similar-looking labels, like OLB and LB, are easy to mix up in time.

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.
