Order by the year each player joined the Pittsburgh Steelers. 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.
Steelers make up this deck, sorted by the year each player arrived in Pittsburgh. Below each name is a position abbreviation such as LB or OLB. You'll begin with one player on the line, his year visible. Place each card that follows into a gap. A right choice reveals his year; a wrong choice moves him to where he belongs and costs one of your three lives.
The Steelers' early years were mostly lean, and the oldest cards come from that stretch before the Steel Curtain dynasty turned the club into a power. From there the deck follows a franchise known for patience and continuity, with linebackers at the heart of its identity. That steadiness makes this one hard: long careers mean arrivals were spread out, and players from the in-between seasons are easy to misjudge.
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.
