The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
Easier to post these as series…
Finals from Forbes Field (April 21st-23rd):
10 games in, these Mets have the same record as their real-life counterparts (1-9). Though I was able to get their first win earlier than they did. Historically their first win was on April 23rd against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In my replay it was April 17th against the Houston Colt .45s.
Next up: the Mets visit Cincinnati for the first time.
Stay tuned!
For some reason I’ve felt the need to play a quick-play baseball game, and not my old standby, Scoreboard Baseball. As much as I like that game, the oldest season available is 1956.
Enter another game that I’ve owned for a couple of years and never played a full game: Roster Card Baseball. Like Scoreboard, the teams are represented on one sheet, and a 2d10 and d6 die roll determines the outcome of a given at bat. This makes it a bit more than a simple quick-play, which is probably why I never got that deep into it.
I bought about a couple dozen seasons from them over the past couple of years, through various sales, including the decade of the 1910’s. I hadn’t printed out a bunch of these seasons, but today I arbitrarily printed out the 1942 and 1960 seasons, and I’m about to play a few games using the 1942, perhaps a World Series replay.
Stay tuned!
