How the Philadelphia Flyers history timeline game works

The cards here are milestones from the Flyers' history, each with a short description under its title, and you place them in the order they happened. One milestone is on the timeline at the start, its year visible. Each new card goes into whichever gap you pick. A correct placement reveals the year, while a mistake moves the card to its true position and costs one of your three lives.

Philadelphia arrived with expansion and won quickly, and the deck follows a franchise that has made plenty of deep playoff runs without always finishing them. Many cards are trips to the Final or the conference final, so read each description for the opponent and the star or line it mentions. Jersey retirements are scattered through the deck and rarely line up with the player's playing days.

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.
