Order these Carolina Hurricanes players by the first season each played for the team. You place all 52 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
What you're building is the Hurricanes franchise's roster in order of the first season each player spent with it. One player is placed for you at the start, his year visible. The next cards come one at a time with a name and a position letter, and you slot each into a gap on the line. A correct gap shows the year; a wrong gap puts the player where he belongs anyway and takes one of three lives.
Before Carolina, this franchise was the Hartford Whalers, and the deck starts in those Hartford years, so expect names you may not link to the Hurricanes. The move south splits the deck roughly in half. Watch for players who bridged the relocation, and for stars who left and later returned: the year counts from a player's very first season with the franchise, Hartford included.
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.
Here are 28 of the 52 cards you might be dealt, with 24 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
