Order these San Jose Sharks 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 cards are San Jose Sharks players, and you're sorting them by the first season each played in teal. You're given one player on the line to start, his year showing. Each new card names a player and gives his position as a single letter, and you place it where you think it goes. Hit the right gap and the year is revealed; miss it and he still moves to his correct place while one of your three lives disappears.
The Sharks were the first of a new wave of expansion teams, and their opening seasons are the most crowded part of the deck, with a lot of names only early fans will know. From there the deck follows the long run of playoff teams and the rebuild that came after. Recent draft picks and newcomers fill the end. Veterans who came over in trades are where most guesses slip.
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.
