How to play the River Plate history timeline game

Every card is a River Plate milestone: league titles, Copa Libertadores triumphs, a famous relegation and a quick return, star debuts and departures, and managerial changes. You order them by year, with a line under each title describing the moment. A single card opens the line, with its year face up. After the first, every card waits for you to pick its gap. A right choice reveals the year, and a wrong one still puts it where it belongs and costs one of your three lives.

River's history starts with amateur titles, moves through the legendary forward lines of the early professional game, and runs to the most successful coaching reign the club has seen. Continental finals cluster together, so the opponents named matter. The drop to the second tier and the bounce back are vivid memories but easy to misplace. Domestic titles have similar descriptions and need care.
