Baseball Highlights: The Dice Game

About this board game

Baseball Highlights: The Dice Game is a dice-driven baseball game for 1–4 players, with an average game length of 20 minutes and a listed play time of 45 minutes.

Each round, the active player rolls the available Play dice and unlocked Power dice, placing them in the matching areas of the game board. They then choose one area and use its dice to cross off boxes on the corresponding track on their game sheet.

Players who are not active still take part. Each inactive player selects one die from each of two different areas, then crosses off two matching boxes. This mostly simultaneous format keeps everyone involved and makes every roll an opportunity for strategic decisions.

The six main tracks, along with the bonus Clutch Hits track, help place runners on base and advance them through different baseball results. Build momentum with singles, doubles, triples, walks, home runs, and stolen bases, then move runners around the bases to score.

• Draft and use dice from six matching board areas.
• Cross off tracks to create runners and advance them toward home.
• Combine results to set up powerful plays, including grand slams and stolen bases.
• Watch the Pitcher’s die, which can remove runners before they score.

Every time a runner reaches home, you score one run. When the game ends, the player with the most runs wins, but the Pitcher’s die can disrupt even the best-laid offensive plans.

With custom dice, player game sheets, wooden markers, and a dedicated game board, Baseball Highlights: The Dice Game brings the excitement of Baseball Highlights: 2045 to a compact dice-game experience. It is designed for ages 8 and up and is Game #26 in the Gryphon Bookshelf Series of Games.
