7th Inning Stretch

About this board game

7th Inning Stretch is a solo or two-player baseball game for 1–2 players, with plays taking about 45 minutes. You take control of the entire organization as general manager, manager, and players, guiding your team through a season of crucial games.

Each season begins with team building and preparation. Draft your players, set your schedule, and arrange your lineup before taking the field. Choices such as naming your clean-up hitter, deciding when to steal bases, and selecting the right pitcher can shape your path through the season.

When the games begin, roll and modify dice to determine the results of offensive plays and defensive innings. The game combines card drafting, engine building, and push-your-luck decisions, giving you opportunities to improve your team while weighing the risks of each important moment.

• Play solo by managing the whole organization.
• Draft a team, build your engine, and arrange your lineup.
• Use dice and tactical choices to resolve key offensive and defensive innings.
• Qualify for the playoffs by performing well in regular-season games.

The season focuses on a few key games rather than every inning of an entire schedule, keeping the action centered on the decisions that matter most. Succeed in the regular season and you can earn a chance to bring home the ultimate prize.

With its nostalgic 20th-century baseball card aesthetic, 7th Inning Stretch captures the feel of chasing childhood baseball dreams. A special duel mode lets two friends play out a full nine-inning game in under an hour, offering a faster head-to-head experience alongside the solo challenge.
