Order by the year each player joined the Seattle Seahawks. 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.
These cards are Seahawks, and they go in order of the year each player first joined Seattle. The player's position is printed on every card in short form. One player is on the timeline from the outset, with his year in view. Every card after that needs a gap. If you choose right, the year is revealed. If you choose wrong, the player still moves to his true position, but you lose one of three lives.
Seattle entered the league as an expansion team, so the deck stays in the modern era, from the early teams through the years spent in the AFC, the first Super Bowl trip and the hard-hitting secondary that defined the club's best defense. Receivers appear most often, followed by running backs. That defensive peak is crowded, and stars who arrived just before it are easy to place too late.
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.
