Order these Washington Capitals 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.
Capitals players fill the cards, and you're ordering them by the first season each played in Washington. One begins on the timeline with the year visible. You're dealt the rest one by one, each showing a name and a C, L, R, D or G, and you put each into a gap. Pick well and the year shows up. Pick badly and he slides into his correct spot anyway, costing you one of your three lives.
Washington joined as an expansion team and struggled badly at first, then built steady playoff clubs before its long modern superstar era. The middle of the deck is the busiest part, full of reliable players from teams that rarely made headlines, and many of them arrived within a short window. Position letters won't settle much here. Veterans who came over in trades after making their names elsewhere are the usual trouble.
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.
