Order these Detroit Red Wings 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.
The job in this deck is to put Detroit Red Wings players in order of each one's first season with the club. A single player opens the timeline, year showing. Each card that follows carries a name and a one-letter position, and you place it before, after or between the players already down. A correct placement reveals the year. An incorrect one still shows where he truly belongs, and it uses up one of your three lives.
Detroit played under other names before it became the Red Wings, and this roster starts back in that earliest stretch, then moves through the Original Six years and the powerhouse teams of Hockeytown. The middle of the deck, between the great early teams and the later champions, is thinner on famous names and easy to misjudge. Stars with very long careers in Detroit are the real test, since they joined well before the seasons they're remembered for.
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.
