How the Tottenham Hotspur history timeline game works

These cards are milestones in Tottenham Hotspur's history: cup wins, a famous double, European nights, record transfers, a new stadium and managerial appointments. You order them by year, with a line under each title describing what happened. One moment is laid down first, its year out in the open. Drop each new card in a gap. Land it right and you see the year; get it wrong and it moves to its true place and you lose one of three lives.

Spurs have a proud cup history, and their best spells came in bursts, with long gaps of hope in between. The modern era of star strikers, a new home and near misses is where most of the cards sit. European finals appear throughout, so check the opponent and the competition. Several cards come from the same season, and those are the hardest to split.

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.
