How the St. Louis Blues history timeline game works

Order the Blues' history moment by moment: each card is a franchise milestone with a brief description under its title, sorted by the year it happened. One card begins on the timeline with its year shown. Each new card is yours to drop into a gap. Choose the right gap and the year is revealed; choose the wrong one and the card still lands in place, at the cost of one of your three lives.

St. Louis reached the Final early and then waited a very long time to win one, and the deck fills that wait with scorers, trades, ownership drama and near misses. Several cards involve star players arriving by trade, so the description is your best clue to which era you're in. Late-career stints and number retirements are where most runs 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.
