How the Vancouver Canucks history timeline game works

The Canucks deck turns franchise history into a set of milestones, each with a short note beneath the title, and you put them in order by year. One milestone starts on the timeline with its year visible. Each card that follows goes into a gap among those already placed. Choose correctly and the year appears. Choose wrong and the card goes to its real spot anyway, and you lose one of three lives.

Vancouver has come close without ever winning the Cup, and the deck reflects that, with plenty of deep runs, division titles and individual awards. A long list of drafts and jersey retirements fills out the rest. The retirements are the cards to watch: they happen after a player's career, sometimes long after, so placing one beside that player's draft or best season will cost you.

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.
