Grew up playing strat (started playing in 1977) but have converted to Mr. Akers inspired game. More a baseball GAME than pure sim. You will cringe as a slick fielding shortstop robs your hitter of a game winning 2-run single. Cheer as your clutch hitter blisters a double in the gap. Deal with the frustration of your breaking-down stadium with its abnormally high mound. The game flows so easy and is easy to mod (i added a knuckleball trait and triple play chance). After a few tries the games will take 15-20min to play.

Excellent tabletop baseball game! It's a quick play game but it has lots of depth to it, which allows it to produce realistic stats. But more importantly it's alot of fun! It also shows you how to rate your own players, fictional or real life. It even includes details on running your own fictional universe like the one in Robert Coover's book, The Universal Baseball Association. Great gzme, great fun!

Eerily realistic baseball simulation. This game moves a little slower than the base game, DEADBALL, but that's a pretty great thing. It's easy to get started with either the provided teams/players or with actual teams/players. This is fun, quick, and mentally engaging. Highly recommended!
