How the Philadelphia Eagles history timeline works

Eagles milestones make up this deck, each one paired with a brief description, and you sort them by the year they happened. You start with a single card on the line, year showing. Each card after that goes wherever you think it belongs. When you're right, the year appears. When you're wrong, the card still lands correctly, and one of your three lives is gone.

The deck reaches back to the franchise's early championships and wartime oddities before moving through stadiums, coaching hires and memorable named games. Some of those names sound alike, so the descriptions really matter here. The modern cards are dense, with Super Bowl trips, star signings and draft picks packed close together. Stadium openings are the most reliable anchors you'll get.

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.
