Order by the year each player joined the Washington Commanders. 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.
Washington's football franchise provides the cards, and you order its players by the year each first joined. Positions are on every card, abbreviated as QB, RB, CB and so on. One player starts on the timeline, year visible. Choose a gap for every new card. A correct gap reveals the year and keeps the card in place; a wrong one sends it to its proper spot and takes one of your three lives.
The club began in Boston before moving to Washington and has gone by more than one name, so the deck covers several identities, from the early days through the strong championship teams to the uneven seasons since. Running backs are the most common label, with defensive ends and receivers next, so the position won't settle much on its own. The leaner recent stretches are packed with players who are easy to place too early or too late.
