Saw <u>CHAMPIONSHIP BASEBALL</u> (Tod Lansing's Championship Games). <br> | |||
An elaborate game for baseball fans. Each player has a roster <br> | |||
of 25 players with their batting, fielding, and (for pitchers) <br> | |||
pitching factors. Also whether right handed or left handed. <br> | |||
The pitcher (player in the field) has a number of <br> | |||
different cards with different types of pitches. Batter <br> | |||
(player at bat) has a series of cards for different <br> | |||
actions at bat. Each chooses one secretly and the <br> | |||
relationship determines whether it is a strike, ball, or a <br> | |||
hit ball. If the latter, the batter throws 3 dice and the <br> | |||
fielder 2. The difference between the two totals <br> | |||
(corrected for factors in the batter's card) tells the kind <br> | |||
of hit it is, such as line-drive, grounder, etc. If the <br> | |||
defensive total is larger than the offensive total on a <br> | |||
swing, it is a strike swinging. <br> | |||
When the ball is hit their is a minimum fielding <br> | |||
number based on the combination of pitcher's card <br> | |||
batter's card, and O-D (Offense total - Defense total) (tho <br> | |||
I am not sure if O-D enters into it). If the total is less <br> | |||
than the minimum, the ball was not fielded and it is a <br> | |||
hit. If the defense rolls the minimum or above, both <br> | |||
players then roll 3 dice (offense) and 2 dice (defense) to <br> | |||
see the results of a throw to a chosen base. <br> | |||
This is only a very rough idea. All plays of baseball, including <br> | |||
tiring of pitchers, etc. are supposed to be included. |
