Order by the year each player joined the Philadelphia Eagles. 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.
The cards are Eagles, old and new, and the line orders them by the year each first joined Philadelphia. Every card is labeled with a position abbreviation. One player starts on the timeline with his year visible. Read each new card and drop it into a gap. Correct drops reveal the year; incorrect ones still move the player to his true spot, at the cost of one of three lives.
Philadelphia's story here begins with early championship teams and runs through long rebuilding stretches, the hard-nosed defenses of later years and the recent Super Bowl teams. Running backs lead the printed labels, ahead of receivers, cornerbacks and quarterbacks. Players from the in-between eras are the toughest calls, as are veterans who came over late in their careers.
