BASEBALL CLASSICS GAME PLAY

The Fastest, Easiest, Most Realistic, and Authentic MLB Board Game Play

1-Column Player Results & Color-Coded Play Makes It The Fastest

Baseball Classics was developed with super fast game play in mind.  If you’re like us, you’ll want to play as many games as possible.  With our next generation streamlined game play, most every at bat outcome with only 1 dice roll.

You’ll love playing using our classic wooden, iconic batter/pitcher die with 4 color-coded six-sided dice.  This unique combination gives you the ability to manage your game play action swiftly.  For example in 1 roll of the dice, the batter smacks a Single with a runner on 1st base:  Using that same roll, you’ll know which player fields the ball, whether he committed an error, and if you chose to send the runner to 3rd, if he’s safe or out.  We even built an online version of our Scorefield game board, dice, and all Game Play Chart Cards you can play on your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop which makes your game play twice as fast! 

Our competitors and others that copy their format, still use outdated looking, bloated, black & white text-based charts to play. That’s not our style. Baseball Classics’ Game Play Charts are standard poker card size and fully color-coded to speed your gameplay.

Color Graphic Design Makes It The Easiest

Everything in Baseball Classics is designed from the ground up in full color-coded ratings. Everything!

All player cards are fully color-coded.   Hits are shaded in green, walks in yellow, strikeouts in blue, and all other outs in red.  Thus, in a glance, you’ll know each player’s strengths and weaknesses at bat.  We made sure it’s easy to know how to play right away by color-coding all their player capabilities revealing: speed, power, fielding, base running, on-base performance, bunting, and strikeouts.

Since you can manage and play and MLB teams 1901-Present, we thought you could use a bench coach.  That’s why we devised an algorithm that determines who typically starts, their main position in the field, where to bat them in the lineup…and for pitchers their go-to starters and relievers including when to typically bring them in.  We call this Real-Time Lineup Advisor because it suggests who to play and when to play them throughout your game.  Naturally, this makes lineup building, player substitutions, and bullpen management even easier!

A roll of dice are batter icon die, and the 4 six-sided dice are 3, 2, 6, 1.  Thus, we refer to Altuve’s card and sum those six-sided dice which is a total of 12.  The RESULT is Strikeout.

It’s that Fast and Easy!  If you wanted to play with fielding, it would be a simple reference to that Game Play Chart Card using the same roll.
