I have really enjoyed playing The Game of Dice Baseball 1977 season. I think the game is an unparalleled bargain. It's just $7 for the entire season--the game, rules, and every player on every team.
Every player is included. This game uses the player's actual stats to resolve the action. One roll of dice resolves most plays. The rare/unusual play charts provide plenty of drama.
Much like a traditional baseball card each batter card comes with the player's actual stats in several categories that are crucial to game play. You'll get every player in the season who had at least 1 plate appearance.
Like the batter cards, each pitcher card is full of stats for each player. Make choices about who to bring in to pitch or just see each player's performance from that season while using as-played lineups. Every pitcher that pitched to at least 1 batter is carded.
A 50/50 roll gets you into the game engine chart for the batter or pitcher. The play result chart is based on a conditional system that takes each player's actual stats into account. Play results change if the conditions are not met. This helps The Game of Dice Baseball account for outliers and unique players.
Fielding is dead simple to use in The Game of Dice Baseball. Roll a single D10 against a chart that includes multiple types of ground outs, fly outs, and line drives. All the results make sense based on the contact type.
If you prefer to use roster sheets instead of cards those are included with the game. Players are rated exactly the same as the cards but there is less to print and cut with the roster sheets.
Easy to use charts for game strategies make incorporating depth and decision-making into the game a breeze. Strategies are included for offense, defense, and baserunning.
The Game of Dice Baseball features dozens of rare and unusual plays that help bring colorful and strange moments into each game. The unusual play charts cover every type of play result including multi-base errors, injuries, wild pitches, dropped third strikes, and many more.
You'll get charts that provide in-depth baserunning based on baserunner situations and batted ball type. Everything is here for you to take as is or tweak to match what you might do as a manager.
Speed and success in running the bases is closely tied to the number of successful steals a player had in a season. Steal first, second, and home based on actual stolen base frequencies and watch different types of runners take extra bases and push the limits of the defense on the basepaths.
With over 20 seasons available there is a seasons for every gamer.
