Order by the year each player joined the Tennessee Titans. 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.
Titans and their predecessors fill the deck, and the timeline orders them by the year each player first joined the franchise. A position abbreviation is printed on each card. One player is down at the start with his year shown. You then take each card and pick a gap for it. Right picks reveal the year; wrong picks move the player to his true place and cost one of three lives.
Before Tennessee, this franchise was the Houston Oilers, an original AFL club, and many of the cards come from those Houston years. After the move came a rename, a Super Bowl trip decided on the final play and a stretch built around a bruising ground game. Receivers are the most common label, though the position under the name only narrows things so far. Oilers-era players are the ones most people find hardest to place.
