Deadball: Baseball With Dice (Second Edition)

About this board game

Deadball: Baseball With Dice (Second Edition) is a fast-paced tabletop baseball game for 1–2 players, with games taking about 30 minutes. Based on simple real-life statistics, it uses straightforward mechanics to bring baseball games to the table.

Play with stars from baseball history, present-day players, or your own imagined roster. Deadball can support replays of classic World Series, dream-team matchups, and fully fictional leagues, making it a flexible choice for baseball fans and newcomers alike.

This second edition is a fully revised core rulebook designed to make the game easier to learn and play. It replaces both the original Deadball: Baseball With Dice and Deadball: 1909, bringing the rules and essential play materials together in one book.

• Complete rules for the Modern and Ancient eras, covering games from 1900 to today.
• Guidance for generating teams with real or fictional players.
• Updated rosters and player descriptions for the eight-team Southern Circuit.
• Two new campaigns for Nine Game Pennant, a fast-paced mini-campaign centered on the Southern Circuit title.
• Digital supplements including blank scoresheets and a quick reference guide.

The Southern Circuit adds a setting of misfits and eccentrics whose story is told across 2022 and 1913. Whether you want to recreate a famous matchup, explore an alternate baseball history, or develop your own league, Deadball offers a concise way to make those games come alive.

Released in 2022, Deadball combines accessible play with room for historical, modern, and imaginative baseball campaigns.
